Recycling & waste resources

Anything we can do to reduce single use plastic usage will make a difference. Here are some great resources to help:

The Joy of Living Without Plastc - creative solutions & information has lots of practical ideas on how to become plastic free, starting with single-use plastic free. As Claudi Williams has argued, plastic is a sympton of our ‘convenience culture’. By slowing down and consuming less, we can get to the root causes of the waste polluting our natural environment.
Stroud District Action on Plastic is a local organisation dedicated to action on plastic in the Stroud District.
Less Plastic is a based in South Devon that campaigns for action on plastic.
Sustainable(ish) offers ideas and resources for those struggling to be more sustainable.

There is something even more transformatove needed. To change the fundamentals of how we produce things.

Doughnut economics with Kate Raworth We produce and consume things as though there is an infinite resource, with no long-term costs for the waste we produce. This is traditional economics. Kate Raworth is a leading light in developing ideas around the ‘circular economy’ where our material goods are designed to maximise recyclability of basic resources and minimise the impact on nature.
Waste and Resources Action Plan (WRAP) Is a major effort, working with different stakeholders, to reduce waste in our society in industry and all stages of the supply chain.
