Small Acts Big Change Update!

  • September 29, 2021

Through our Small Acts Big Change program, we recently delivered a mini lockdown series highlighting some simple tips and tricks to help our communities reduce their waste while at home.

This mini-series was comprised of five social media tiles covering problems such as food waste, textiles waste, and plastic waste. This delivers on the program’s thematic focuses.

Tips and tricks included:

  • Boxing up charity shop donations while going through your wardrobe
  • Reducing your food waste by learning new recipes instead of ordering in
  • Reducing your food waste by writing a shopping list
  • How to practice sustainable fashion when online shopping during lockdown
  • Boxing up problem waste, such as batteries or oil bottles, for when community recycling centres reopen
