We are increasingly aware of the need to rely less on fossil fuels to power the UK and to reduce energy consumption. Managing carbon emissions caused by burning fossil fuels to produce energy is crucial to controlling climate change. While there’s a concerted shift towards renewable energy sources, including Energy from Waste plants, reducing demand […]
Fly tipping is a long-standing problem throughout the UK. In 2016, we discussed how fly tipping ruins our streets and countryside. Since then, the situation has further declined. Critics blame low resourcing, lack of government support and ineffective fines, but the most recent issues have been caused by the Coronavirus crisis. The lockdown impact When […]
Whether you’re planning a home renovation, a garden overhaul, or just having a good sort out, a surprising amount of waste can be created. You might find that you can sell some items or donate them to charity. But other things are inevitably destined for disposal. Taking the waste to your local recycling centre might […]
Historically, the UK has depended on fossil fuels to generate energy. The problem? Not only are these finite resources, so will eventually run out, but burning fossil fuels is damaging to human health and our environment. Coal supplies a third of energy worldwide. Yet burning coal to produce electricity generates carbon dioxide emissions that are […]
The problems posed by our overreliance on plastic has become part of our everyday thinking. The turning point was back in 2017, when Sir David Attenborough narrated a now-historic episode of Blue Planet II. It demonstrated the devastating impact that plastic is having on our oceans. But since then, has our dependency on single-use plastic […]
The issues of food waste are far-reaching, not least for the environment where food disposal emits damaging greenhouse gases. But the problems go beyond the food itself – plastic food packaging has come under increasing scrutiny. But what innovations are emerging to make food packaging more sustainable? Edible packaging Single-use plastics have come under fire […]
There’s a waste crisis in the UK. As a nation, we need to reduce consumption, increase recycling, turn waste into energy, and embrace a circular economy. Another contentious point in the waste sector is food waste.
The Coronavirus pandemic affected the human race on a global scale. Hundreds of thousands of families tragically lost loved ones, businesses struggled and many world economies were left at an all time low. Yet, here and there, little pockets of light appeared to keep countries going through this terrible crisis. And in true British spirit, […]
In the era of climate change, there’s an increasing focus on how the UK should be powered to minimise the environmental impact. Historically, we’ve relied on coal and gas to generate electricity and decarbonisation. But how is this changing?
As the realisation of the ever-increasing waste crisis slowly creeps into our everyday psyche, it spurs us to make more sustainable choices, waste less, and recycle more. As we understand the impact of waste, it affects the buying choices we make – including clothing. Consumer demand for sustainable fashion is emerging. It’s not uncommon to […]
