Congratulations to everybody for taking part in No Waste Wednesday! Our results from the survey show that on Wednesdays there is considerably less waste and an increase in recycling materials.
This is not only beneficial for our local environment but it also helps in our bid to help with achieving our ‘Global Goals’. As this year’s theme is Litter and Waste and Global citizenship, it is up to each of us to reduce our waste and make positive changes that can impact on a global scale!
