Trash Talk

Waste management is not just important for adults around the world, but, is crucial for children to learn. By being shown how necessary managing waste is for our planet, children can develop a true understanding of the impact that recycling and waste really has. 

So for today's lesson, we will be tossing out the textbooks & getting hands-on!

Music Festivals like Glastonbury generate around 107 tons of solid waste daily! That is the same weight as 18 Elephants or 54 Cars!

If you have ever been a part of running an event or even just attending an event, you will have all seen the amount of litter, debris and rubbish that is left behind once the tidal wave of visitors have come and gone.

The average person generates over 4 pounds of waste per day, that is the same amount as a Watermelon!

Now, since we have been going for over 9 years, spanning Greater Manchester, providing our waste and recycling service to anyone who needs it, you would think that everyone would know about our service.

Could you fit a year’s worth of waste into a single jar? 

This is what a zero waste lifestyle claims to be able to do.

But, how realistic is a full, unfiltered, zero waste lifestyle?
