It\u2019s now automatic to use a recycling bin for a bottle or a can; but how eco-friendly is your lifestyle? Do you turn off the water while you brush your teeth?\u00a0 Unplug all electronic gadgets when they are not being used? \u00a0Use a water filter instead of buying bottled water?\u00a0 Use the best types of energy saving lightbulbs? Walk or cycle instead of taking the bus or the taxi of mum and dad? Print out only the minimum needed on paper and recycle the paper you do use? Use rags of old t-shirts etc for cleaning with green friendly cleaning products instead of paper kitchen towel? \u00a0Check out your carbon footprint and buy locally? Small changes in habits mean that you don\u2019t have to be an eco-warrior to help the environment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-responsive\">\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bQCReet5oyA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Did You Take Part in the June Plastic Challenge?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Did you even hear about it? Did you know that up to 12.7 million tonnes of plastic enters our seas every year? There is so much rubbish entering the environment that it is estimated that by 2050, without intervention, there may be more plastic in the oceans than fish.\u00a0 In June the Marine Conservation Society challenges everyone to give up single-use plastic for a day, or a week, or even the whole month. Not as easy as it sounds. Look at all the packaging that comes with a product: food on plastic trays covered in clingfilm; bags of ready-packed fruit and vegetables; toiletries in plastic bottles; ready meals for the microwave. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcsuk.org\/what-you-can-do\/ocean-friendly-living\/reducing-your-plastic-footprint\/plastic-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.mcsuk.org\/what-you-can-do\/ocean-friendly-living\/reducing-your-plastic-footprint\/plastic-challenge\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And then there is the hidden plastic. Did you realise if you had a cup of tea this morning it probably used a teabag that contains plastic?\u00a0 Did you use a face scrub? \u00a0Microbeads, (tiny particles of plastic) have been added to some cosmetic products, like face scrubs. These microbeads flow down the sink pipes into the sewers, water treatment plants can\u2019t filter out something that small so they continue into the ocean where sea creatures eat them; we then eat the sea creatures.\u00a0 Although the problem with microbeads has been recognised, and usage bans are starting to be implemented around the world, another source of microplastic comes in the form of microfibres. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BqkekY5t7KY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BqkekY5t7KY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While natural fibres like cotton or wool biodegrade, fleece and other synthetic materials are non-biodegradable and can be coated with chemicals to help with things like water resistance in sports performance. These synthetic materials shed plastic microfibres in the washing machine which like microbeads aren\u2019t filtered out at the waste treatment stage, so the fibres reach the ocean.\u00a0 An added hazard is their ability to bind with molecules of harmful chemicals such as pesticides. The microfibres are eaten by plankton and other small organisms and once again make their way up the food chain, often stunting the growth of shellfish and fish upon digestion. \u00a0It should eventually be possible to create a filter somewhere in the system. However, washing machine manufacturers are unwilling to add filters to their machines, as they claim customers don\u2019t even clean the filters that already exist for visible fibres.\u00a0 In the meantime, products like special filter laundry bags to place in the washing machine may be one way forward and if you buy sportswear then get good quality as they will deteriorate more slowly.<\/p>\n<p>Greenpeace has a plastics calculator which helps you estimate how much disposable plastic you use in a year.\u00a0 This website will also ask you to sign a petition to support the introduction of a deposit return scheme on plastic boxes. <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.greenpeace.org.uk\/page\/content\/plastics-calculator-v1?source=fp&amp;subsource=fp33secsplasticscalc3&amp;utm_source=gpeace&amp;utm_medium=fp&amp;utm_campaign=fp33secsplasticscalc3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Greenpeace Plastic Usage Estimator<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Keep Britain Tidy has a Plastic Challenge with resources to learn more about managing plastics from the Environmental Agency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keepbritaintidy.org\/get-involved\/support-our-campaigns\/plastic-challenge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.keepbritaintidy.org\/get-involved\/support-our-campaigns\/plastic-challenge<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Realistically living plastic-free is well-nigh impossible these days, but being eco-aware of how your product is packaged is a good start. \u00a0Buy loose fruit and vegetables in the supermarkets with paper bags (which you then recycle), or go to markets and other shops that sell loose dry goods like rice and nuts and bring reusable bags. \u00a0How about going back to soap bars, rather than using handwash in plastic bottles \u2013 or getting refillable pouches to reuse plastic bottles on toiletries and household cleaning products?\u00a0 These are just some of the great suggestions from the Marine Conservation Society.\u00a0 They also run the annual Great British Beach Clean in September; why not get involved? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcsuk.org\/beachwatch\/greatbritishbeachclean\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.mcsuk.org\/beachwatch\/greatbritishbeachclean <\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8744 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/girl-in-forest.gif\" alt=\"Girl crouched reading in a forest clearing\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Tree Charter<\/h3>\n<p>Another great way to help the environment is to plant a tree. They are a source of clean air, provide wildlife habitat, a place for humans to play and being among them promotes health and mental well-being. Whilst you might not have too much land free where you can do this for yourself, The Tree Charter may offer the answer.\u00a0 Spearheaded by the Woodland Trust, more than 70 organisations will be helping to promote and develop woodlands across the UK.\u00a0 \u00a0The UK is one of the world\u2019s top consumers of wood products. At present, we aren\u2019t even planting enough trees to replace those that are lost in town and country each year; with the threat to wildlife and the extinction of some tree species that this represents.<\/p>\n<p>The 6<sup>th<\/sup> November 2017 sees the 800<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the 1217 Charter of the Forest.\u00a0 On the 800<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary a new charter will be launched \u2013 the <em>Charter for Trees, Woods and People \u2013 <\/em>which aims to celebrate the rights of people to the benefits of trees and woods.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0The simplest way to show your support is to sign the Tree Charter and for every signature received a tree will be planted. \u00a0Unfortunately, the Charter cannot display the names of under-18 year olds, so although your parents can sign, you can\u2019t.\u00a0 However, to get around this problem and show your support for the Tree Charter, under-18 year olds can print off the bare skeleton of a tree and get a group of people to create leaves for the tree. Each leaf is the equivalent of a signature and when the tree is full you send a photograph of it to the Tree Charter who then register the number of leaves anonymously on the Charter itself, so your tally is still counted. \u00a0\u00a0More about the Charter and events that will be held around the country, or how to get your school involved is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/treecharter.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/treecharter.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-7936\" src=\"https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-150x150.png\" alt=\"Skills Builder Aiming High Logo\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-66x66.png 66w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-75x75.png 75w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-125x125.png 125w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-700x700.png 700w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-1200x1200.png 1200w, https:\/\/potentialplusuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/skills-builder-Aiming-High-1320x1320.png 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=&#8221;2&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>About the Author:<\/strong> <em>Geraldine Glover is Potential Plus UK&#8217;s Community Information Coordinator.
