<strong>Local</strong> Produce, Less Waste<br />
Every person in the UK produces a shocking 76kg of plastic per year.<br />
Supermarkets often use plastic on organic veg simply to prevent it being<br />
mixed with non-organics. If you are serious about reducing your waste<br />
go local - Moorgate Farm Vegetable Scheme, for example delivers plastic<br />
free veg to your door.<br />
RECYCLING MORE OF YOUR<br />
WASTE!<br />
Charity Recycling MK aim to reduce the<br />
volume of domestic plastics sent to landfill<br />
or incineration while raising money for<br />
charity. George Thomson is an approved<br />
TerraCycle UK drop-off point administrator<br />
who works on a completely voluntary basis.<br />
He shares all funds between Willen Hospice<br />
and MK Cat Rescue. He began recycling<br />
Tassimo discs and wrappers but now<br />
handles so much more.<br />
TOP TIP<br />
Find the longest<br />
use-by date so your<br />
food lasts longer and<br />
freeze what you<br />
can<br />
To recycle your plastics (see the list) pop<br />
them into the recycling boxes at 25 Cantle<br />
Avenue, Downs Barn, MK14 7RJ (open<br />

HIDDEN GEMS<br />
Bucks Star Brewery in Milton Keynes bring 100%<br />
natural beers with lots of different flavours. It’s<br />
suitable for vegans and their Growler Swap is<br />
the first ever bottle swap scheme – better than<br />
recycling. You can also go on one of their tasting<br />
days, we’d definitely recommend it but book a taxi!<br />
