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.

Our friends at Buxton Methodist Church are removing the room dividers pictured below on Sunday 18 May and would love to see them get re-used rather than go to the tip. The panels (wood covered in melamine) could be used for fencing or to build something if you don't have a room to divide. Free! Delivery locally on Sunday possible. If you leave a message here we can pass it onto the church team to respond.

As the season progresses the seedlings are becoming young plants ready to be planted out. Please save and contribute any spare plants of any kind for our annual plant swap stall on the promenade outside the Octagon on 31 May as part of the Rotary Club of Buxton Bazaar. The idea is to donate plants you don't need and select others that you do. If you don't have plants to donate we do accept cash donations.
