These days my email inboxes are on overload, some of which are unwelcome spam. However an email that I always look forward to is Friends of the Earth ‘Tip of the day’ and recently they made me aware about a fantastic website that is encouraging people to turn junk into treasure: Junkk.com has some great [...]

After moaning that I hadn’t heard much from the Plastic Bag Free Brighton campaign in my last post, I was chuffed to get an email today with their latest news.

So when I have finished with my carton of soya milk or fruit juice I can take it to one of my local recycling points instead of posting it to a Recycling Centre in Somerset.
