World Environment Day 2008

This year World Environment Day was hosted by New Zealand, and the focus was “Kick the CO2 Habit”. The message was to reduce CO2 usage and therefore help with cutting down global warming contributions. It is hoped that individual households will analyse their needs for driving and other carbon-producing activities, and use the day as reminder to do what we can for the environment.

Compost goes green for Compost Awareness Week

Compost Awareness Week earlier this month saw the UK raising awareness for green compost methods in the garden, and how this can help combat climate change worldwide. This week, run jointly by the Compost Association and the Waste & Resources Action Programme encourages the use of peat-free compost, made from recycled garden and kitchen waste - excess food waste and decomposable items.
