Scottish households produce 566, 000 tonnes of food waste every year. The food we eat contributes to greenhouse gasses more than ever, due to increased use of machinery, food travelling further, and greater use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides. Whilst we love growing organically, we know that it’s not always possible to grow or make everything you need. By buying as locally and seasonally as possible, you could help carbon emissions whilst getting the best tasting food! Visit our website to get recipes and useful tips on buying and cooking local and seasonal produce.

Around 30% of clothes have not been worn for at least a year, most often because they no longer fit, with four in five adults owning items which they no longer wear due to fit or need for alteration.  
Extending the life of clothing by an extra nine months of active use would reduce carbon, waste and water footprints for clothing by around 20-30%. Come along to our swap shop at On The Corner every other Saturday to donate, swap and learn how to fix clothes. Our website also has a Textiles Recycling Point Locator.
