The Dorchester Carbon Project

It’s easy to get involved this Recycle Week. We can all help by doing anything from re-using carrier bags to recycling old electrical items and remembering to put the recycling out, reducing food waste and even home composting!

However you choose to waste less, it’s easy, it helps the environment and you might even save money in the process.

Everyone’s invited to join in! To show how much we can all contribute as individuals, we’ve put together a list of easy-to-achieve pledges which include:

I pledge to…

• recycle all my cartons
• recycle all my glass
• recycle all my newspapers and magazines
• sort and recycle my old electrical items
• re-use my carrier bags
• use my leftovers to make delicious lunches
• choose peat-free compost
• recycle drinks bottles and cans when I am out and about
• look out for the new ‘Recycle’ packaging labels
• home-compost my kitchen and garden waste
• go waste free for a day
• donate/recycle my unwanted clothes

Why not make your pledge now and you’ll receive details about the positive effect your pledge will have on the environment, plus hints and tips on how to make a difference?
