Welcome to this weeks newsletter.
At CrowdLeaf we share with you various articles and news which can help us understand the current state of the world and Climate and how we can begin to reverse or mitigate some of the damage that has been done.
A hot topic these past couple of weeks has been Blue Planet II and how damaging humans have been to the planet. Let’s make our pledges and get involved in cleaning up our waste and become more sustainable and take responsibility for our actions by making the world a much cleaner place to live.
With Christmas just around the corner, check out the great articles in ‘Sustainability news’ for an eco-friendly Christmas and some plastic free tips.
There are also some great events coming up including Keep Britain Tidy Campaign so have a look and get involved.

Pledge Your Commitment To Improving Hampshires Recycling Habits
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.’
