Following hot on the heels of Great Big Green Week, we’re about to enter Plastic Free July – part of the solution to plastic pollution.
These days, there are a wealth of excellent reusable options to choose from. If you’re ready to take the challenge, join millions of others and sign up to receive tips and tricks via email during the month to keep you motivated and inspired to reduce your plastic waste.
Make your summer stylish and sustainable
If you’re planning a picnic or party this summer, get in touch with the Party Kit Network to borrow reusable tableware. There are 100s of groups in the network with a handy map to find the nearest one(s) to you. Many groups offer decorations, table linen and games too, so you can have a stylish gathering without the waste.
You can also find out about other swaps, local refill shops and more on our Remember Your Reusables page.
Confidence in continence grows across Herts
Many people are seeking ways to save money and be more sustainable. Now even ‘hidden’ waste can be swapped for reusables. With Herts Confident Continence, Hertfordshire residents can claim 15% off the purchase of reusable incontinence products from our partnering suppliers.
With products such as pants, briefs and pads suitable for men, women and children, we’ve got you covered!
Pass-on outgrown uniform
Summer holidays are almost in sight! If your child is moving schools or has outgrown their uniform, give it a new lease of life.
Many schools offer a second-hand uniform sale where wearable items are passed onto other families. If yours doesn’t, see if the PTA might set one up, or try a local charity shop or online resales like Vinted or dedicated sites like Uniformerly or Grown Our Of It. Recycle any unwearable items at your nearest textiles bank.
