Join me at Cardiff Metropolitan University about how to 'mobilise the masses' in affirmative climate activities. Yes, we *all* recycle, or occasionally cycle to work, rather than driving. But what else is possible? Who else within our communities could we be supporting to get involved at their pace? Join me at this event to hear the reasons behind Taff Tidy, and the legacy projects behind the world record attempt.

📢 The impact of UK reuse charities must be recognised and supported to help achieve the UK's ambitious circular economy goals. Today we have released The Reuse Roadmap which sets out five key points we are asking the Government to consider for the UK's new Circular Economy Strategy. The charity reuse sector is essential, at-scale, and creates significant social and environmental impact. However, more support for reuse is needed to drive the circular economy forward. We must work together to create a future circular economy that is fair, equitable, and inclusive for all. Craig Anderson OBE, CEO of Reuse Network said “For decades, reuse charities have stepped in where policy has fallen short, ensuring that essential household goods remain accessible to those who need them most. Yet, despite our environmental, social, and economic contributions, the value of the reuse sector has never been fully recognised or supported. The Government must act now to remove restrictive policies and champion reuse in order to unlock its full potential in driving the circular economy forward. The time for recognition and action is long overdue.” Find the link to The Reuse Roadmap in the comments ⬇️
