Don’t throw that milk carton away! Why not recycle it? There’s tons of stuff you can do with your rubbish!

If you want something to do with the kids over the summer or just to do your bit for the environment the RSPB have a summer wild challenge on their website for folk to do.  For July it was do some upcycling creative craft ideas…click here to find out more or read on….

Recycling is really important, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun, too! Why not convert your waste into works of art and make rubbish a riot?

It’s amazing how colourful packaging is. You can let your imagination go when creating animals and habitats from household waste.

Taking part in a beach clean-up or litter pick at your local park is a kind and selfless thing to do and will make a positive difference to the wildlife and people enjoying the space. Be careful if you complete a litter pick and be sure to wash your hands afterwards and use the right tools to pick things up.
