Plastic Fantastic

Looking for some place to recycle your plastics? Tesco's in Hove have a wire cage around the back of the store - it is for recycling carrier bags . . . . . . . . and . . . . . . all other plastics!!!!! That includes the bags your carrotts and potatoes, and all other fruit and veg are packaged in. Also included is the wrapping your cheese comes in. Yoghurt pots. Margarine containers. Fruit punnets. This plastic is recycled along with their own plastics which goes to a company which sorts it and then uses what it can to make recycled carrier bags. It does travel to Germany however this is the only company that offers the service. Pop it all in a carrier bag and take along to Tesco's!

Brighton as Green as they come!!

Us Brightonians, born and bred or not, are greening it up with the best of them. Check out The Green Diary and see just how many environmentally themed activities are going on in the city. And if you can attend one please do. If you are a "green virgin" and want to find a way to improve your eco credentials then start off by popping in to the Brighton Peace and Environment Centre which has served the city for some 25 years!!! It's opposite Brighton Station so is easy to find.

The thing about developing your eco awareness is that it takes time. A precursor to this is motivation. Once you are motivated to changing your habits then you need to set aside some time. And to achieve this you must give something up - after all there are only 24 hours in a day despite many of us trying to cram 72 hours worth of activities into one day.

What will you give up? I gave up _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ? Can you guess? You could just offer a letter.
