Have a Composting Christmas & New Year

What can be composted from your seasonal festivities?

If you are looking forward to the season’s festivities but worry about being green, have no fear. It is surprising how many Christmas items can be composted.  Here are some suggestions to get you started.
Need Compost Bins?

Waste Prevention Advisors Working against Waste

Anyone with an interest in how to prevent waste and what happens to the waste we do create will be interested in becoming an active volunteer.

Your Christmas Store Cupboard

Food labelling – what does it all mean?

In supermarkets and food shops throughout the land, packaged food is labelled.  Origin, bar code and dates all appear on food packaging labels – but what do those dates mean?  Read on for accurate definitions and to make sure your store cupboard is full of food that is safe to eat.

New Year, New Look Green Club Newsletter

It’s time for a change and in 2012 West Sussex Green Club will issue bigger and better newsletters.

The cleaning product company Ecover pride themselves on sustainable production of cleaning products and offer a refill service around the country. 

Need Food Waste Digesters?

Lottie’s plot - Grow your own

At this time of the year gardeners can still choose how to use their garden space – do you plant and protect hardy edibles for a winter garden? Or put the garden to bed for the winter?  Most of us do a bit of both creating a great patchwork quilt of crops and covered ground.
