Our planet is in trouble – but don’t despair!

Each one of us, whatever age we are or wherever we live, can do something to help our environment and learn to live more sustainably.

As a nation we create such a lot of rubbish, just under half a tonne per person per year!! Most of this is sent to landfill or burned in incinerators - both of these actions can be dangerous for the environment.

Is all our waste really rubbish?

If you think about it, much of what we throw away could be used again which is why it makes sense to reuse and recycle!
