Trash Talk

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? 

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.

Did you know that the average person generates over 2 tonnes of waste every year? That’s the size of a small car!

With that amount of rubbish being chucked away each year, surely there is something we can do to reduce it? 

Well, as if by magic, there is...and this blog will teach you the ways like a young Yoda teaching his Jedi's. 

 This time we are taking a deep dive into the 10 household items lying around your house that you didn't know you could recycle or reuse!

From Old CDS & DVDS (Are they still a thing?) to how to get rid of your old, scraggy toothbrushes, this blog has got it all the info you need on what items can be recycled. 

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!

With lectures, seminars, e-learning, assignments & that student loan that needs spending. Learning about going green and becoming more sustainable can sound like another boring lecture...but it doesn't have to be! 

Today, we are your teachers and guides. Whether you're a new starter taking your first steps into the all out chaos of freshers week or a 3 year veteran coming into the final push...going green is for everyone.
