Welcome to this weeks newsletter.

We are seeing a fantastic effort and commitments being made by various companies and countries against the war on plastic.

A lot more has still yet to be done but seeing the positive movement brings back a bit faith to humanity and shows what we can achieve if we all pull together.

By reading and sharing our newsletter, we at CrowdLeaf aim to help others to get involved with events including beach cleans and to get out and about to environmental meetings etc. Ultimately we want everyone to become more aware of how and what we need to change in the world in order to make it cleaner and more sustainable and protect our beautiful planet.

Please join us in signing the petition to help the WWF Stop Ivory Trade in the UK.

Love Food Hate Waste

Organic Veg Box Finder – Soil Association

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.’
