So, each week in the office we have a “green thought” (as you’ll probably know if you’re following our social media channels). It’s just a little tip designed to try and help people lead a greener lifestyle and quite often involves saving money too.
Green celebrities. And no, I don’t mean The Hulk as my colleague helpfully enquired. I’m talking about those celebrities that genuinely do go above and beyond when it comes to helping the environment. So, we’re going to have a bit of a quiz.
So, following last weeks cliché i’d like to make it up to you by giving some top green travel tips to use. (Ok so yes that’s still a bit of a cliché but let’s fly over that and get to the green stuff).
Not always a combination to think of, but I couldn’t resist an attempt to link this week’s blog to the newest member of the Royal Family.
So, we know that when we put our plastic bottles in the recycling bin they’re recycled, but have you ever wondered how? If so, read on!
So, this week I thought an appropriate topic to talk about would be how to stay green when the sun is shining. When I think of summer I think of fruit, sun cream and to combine them both, a nice relaxing picnic.
So, last week we went to the zoo and met Marian the Armadillo so I felt it would be appropriate to give you some facts about Armadillo’s.
Is your recycling explosive? Staff from Essex council found a “recycled” live hand grenade in a Basildon recycling bin. That’s not the first time either – they’ve also found ammunition, firearms, distress flares and mortar shells. In 2011, Enfield council gave reports of oil paintings, sex toys and dead pets being placed in recycling bins. Someone even put their plastic Christmas tree in an organic waste bin (perhaps it was extremely lifelike?!). These things got me thinking, what’s the strangest thing we’ve had in our recycling bins?
