Going Beyond Recycling Towards Less Plastic
/in Money saving ideas, Recycling, Repair Cafe, Single use plastic, Take Action/by ElisabethSussex Green Living is appealing to the public to keep going with a plastic free life in 2026 and beyond.
Why is recycling plastic not enough? While some of the plastic we recycle is turned into new products, much of it is exported or incinerated. Although energy recovery from burning plastic is often counted within waste management, plastic is made from fossil fuels that took millions of years to form, so burning it is not a sustainable solution. The biggest climate impact, however, comes long before plastic reaches us. According to the OECD, around 90% of greenhouse gas emissions from plastics occur during production and manufacturing.

Wild Gardening: creating a beautiful refuge for wildlife
/in Biodiversity & Nature, Climate Hub, Take Action/by ElisabethAcross the UK, many natural spaces have become either overly tidy or ecologically depleted. Hedges and scrubland have been cleared, wildlife habitats have disappeared and large areas of farmland are regularly treated with pesticides and weedkillers.
Our gardens can help fill this gap by providing much-needed refuge for wildlife. In fact, suburban gardens now support more hedgehogs than much of the surrounding countryside.
With a few simple changes to the way we manage our outdoor spaces, we can help reverse this decline and create places where nature can thrive. Read more
