Waste

Christmas decorations and presents
Here are some ideas gathered together, on a Pinterest board, for Christmas decorations that can be made by recycling waste.
Kate has had a go at making the ‘gingerbread’ decorations and Christmas card baubles. She has also made the gnomes from old jumpers and scrap fabric stuffed with filling from old pillows.

Questions and answers

The Climate Action Stokesley and Villages group are promoting ways to reduce, reuse and recycle in the local area.

Reduce waste through, for example: identifying shops that will allow customers to take their own containers to be filled and promoting water bottle refilling.

Find out more about the new plastic free shop in Stokesley by watching the video Mike Newton, a group member, put together.

Reuse through, for example:

  • sharing ideas for re-using materials
  • identifying businesses or individuals who undertake repairs and maintenance of household items
  • calling for the reinstatement of an area at the local recycling centre for items that can be repaired /reused
