Plastic pollution is evident all around us, blighting our lanes, paths and hedgerows, ending up in waterways and contributing to climate change.
Energy is fundamental to our modern way of life. But energy – specifically fossil fuels – is the main driver of climate change.

Today Carnegie UK is launching the latest edition of the Life in the UK Index, which shows that the lives of people in the UK did not improve in the past year.![]()
Now in its third year, the Life in the UK Index measures the wellbeing of the people of the UK by examining answers to questions across social, environmental, economic and democratic themes.

We had such fun on Friday dressing children up for Halloween using donated 2nd hand and waste materials - so much better than buying something made in dubious conditions that would likely only get worn once. Lets hope it stays dry for them on Friday this week so they can show off their Trick or Treak outfits.A big THANK YOU to Transition Buxton CIC for bringing your projects to our #BuxtonGreenAssembly with @buxtoncrescentheritagetrust . We had 310 join us to celebrate our beautiful planet and learn how we can all care for it. Families enjoyed finding out more about #renewableenergy and your Day ZeroFreeBuxton project. Over 20 children then went up to Date Zero to choose something for free in Buxton’s #refillshop . #HalloweenCostumes - wow, lots of very happy children went away with brand new costumes from unwanted repurposed items. Well done for having a #GreenHalloween . Thank you for showcasing #buxtonlibraryofthings at Buxton Library too, lots on your inventory for families to save money and save space at home.
