WASTE ADVICE

Real action, right now.

Waste is a major contributor to greenhouse gases. It takes land, water and labour to produce the goods and food that go to landfill – where they produce more emissions as they break down. Estimates suggest that we waste around £19 billion of food every year in the UK.

BIODIVERSITY

Our global environment.

In the past 50 years, 60% of UK species have declined. See what we are doing about it in Rutland
