This brilliant website gives tips and ideas about food waste and how to reduce it.
Instead of throwing out or bagging up (to gather dust) all those clothes children quickly grow out of this is a brilliant website to buy or sell unwanted children clothes. It is run by a busy mum who also knows what it’s like with ever growing children and the endless amount of clothes children accumulate.
‘Last year a quarter of the clothing we got rid of was simply thrown away. That’s a staggering 300,000 tonnes that went into landfill. So many of those items could have been re-used and enjoyed by a another child, instead of contributing to the destruction of the planet.’

Hello and welcome to this weeks edition of the CrowdLeaf newsletter.
These beautiful images were taken by Ann-Marie Britton Photography so a big thank you for allowing CrowdLeaf to share these!
We hope everyone is enjoying yet another week of this beautiful weather although it’s not without it’s downfall. Britain has been pretty scorched by the heatwave so we are hoping some rain will be on it’s way soon.
Consultation which could pave the way to removing a local say in fracking announced by the Government – put your thoughts down and them off to them here.
We are working towards arranging a beach clean and litter pick so watch this space for further details on this. In the mean time check out our events section to see what is going on near you. 🙂
We have a great guest piece from Free Books Southampton who provide a place for donated unwanted books to be redistributed for others to love again.

Hello and welcome to CrowdLeaf’s newsletter.
As you may have heard data protection laws are changing on 25th May so you will need to let us know if you would like to continue receiving our weekly newsletters. Some of you will have received an email from us but if you haven’t and you would like to, please drop us an email or message. Thank you all for your support for our shared and joint cause! 🙂
Ryan has been spending some time in Amsterdam, this is what he had to say:
‘It’s great to see all the great advances so obviously unique but so startlingly obvious. Everywhere you turn there is Tesla taxis, solar boats on their pristine rivers. In shops and hotels there arr environmentally aware products, CO2 aware menus and the very unique situation of bicycles peppered in every road and corner. It’s been hearenting to see the novel idea of car share schemes just popping up all over the City. What more can I say, it’s so green and clean here, frankly the UK could learn a lot’
Some great conservation success stories – always good to see some of the good we can do!
Do you have an event or an article you would like to see published on our newsletter? Please contact myself (Vicky) or Ryan to see if we can help!

Hello and Welcome to CrowdLeaf’s Newsletter!
A big thank you to Ryan who took over for last weeks newsletter while I was on holiday! 🙂
While away, we went to Paignton Zoo and was so pleased to see them providing biodegradable and compostable take away coffee cups – there really should be more of a push for other coffee and take away chains to provide these!
I also wanted to share this beauty who lived outside our from door for a couple of days – it looks like a male Lime Hawk Moth. I’m no expert on moths or their biggest fans but not even I can deny how handsome he is! (Please feel free to correct me if I have identified him wrong.)
If anyone would like their articles or events published on our weekly newsletter then please email us and let us know!
We have a great guest piece by Eco Collective – a vegan supermarket for good that has a great range and price for their products.
Another great guest piece regarding the pressing issue of Air Pollution and Clean Air Day 2018 by Larissa Lockwood, Head Of Health at Action Global Plan:
Combination of Cold Starts And Short Journeys Are A major Barrier To Air Pollution Improvements.
We also have a great charity event – Brave New Southampton: Variety Show Shindig! on Friday 18th May for anyone interested in a better, cleaner and greener Southampton. So come and join in!

Hello and welcome to another CrowdLeaf newsletter 🙂 Vicky is away this week, usual service will resume when she’s back.
This weeks newsletter is jam packed full of green and sustainable goodness.
With two guest articles coming out in the last week, I point to the upcoming event as listed below, the Brave New World Variety Show Shindig and another fantastic company doing great things to make the world just that little bit more sustainable ‘The Eco Collective’ a fully vegan Supermarket for good.
Firstly our usual plea, anyone or any company who is organising green events, sells sustainable products or any other variation thereof is welcome to contact us about working together on boosting the green community and economy. As part of this we are also restocking our store and are looking for local providers to link up with our store so if you are interested, please email us.
This week just like the last has had some pretty interesting developments. Solar reached a peak at 28.5% of the UK’s energy this early May bank holiday weekend, producing more energy than nuclear and gas powered energy plants.
Again, there are some great events going on this month so please check them out and get involved. Once again last week Ryan @rwscarter was back on the airwaves to discuss all things green and sustainable with Xan Philips, you can listen again here.

Instead of throwing out or bagging up (to gather dust) all those clothes children quickly grow out of this is a brilliant website to buy or sell unwanted children clothes. It is run by a busy mum who also knows what it’s like with ever growing children and the endless amount of clothes children accumulate.
‘Last year a quarter of the clothing we got rid of was simply thrown away. That’s a staggering 300,000 tonnes that went into landfill. So many of those items could have been re-used and enjoyed by a another child, instead of contributing to the destruction of the planet.’

Hello and welcome to this weeks newsletter!
How cute is this little bee tucking in to a flower! So nice to see the sunshine finally!
First of all, we want to thank everyone who joined us last week for CrowdLeaf’s Litter pick walk! The turn out was a great success and although we couldn’t clean the whole of the Common in the time we were out we managed to clear a huge amount of rubbish – almost half of which could have easily been recycled!
This month there is so many great events to get involved in so take a look at the Events section to find out what you can get involved in to help the environment!
There is a great event this Friday 20th April – Sustainability Mic Night – so come and join in!
