Football is coming!!!! And with it? Mountains of Plastic Waste! How many plastic cups fill an average U.S. professional football stadium? About a games worth.....

According to researchers at MIT, a typical pair of trainers generates 14kg of carbon emissions. Which is why it makes sense to recycle your preloved sports shoes. Since One Impossible Thing started, we have redistributed 3,827 pairs of sports shoes, equating to 53.578 tonnes of CO2 emissions saved. So if you live in the West Herts area, you can pop your sports shoes in one of our new funky collection bins like the ones below! For details of where all our bins are located, go to: https://lnkd.in/d9DjJ4Bb Photo - Recycling bin at Berkhamsted Sports #preloved #recycle

Approximately 75% of the aluminium ever produced is still in use today. This is because it can be recycled endlessly! BUT little pieces can't be recycled because they slip through the gaps in the factory recycling process. Scrunch your easter egg (and other) foil into the size of a tennis ball. AND REMEMBER: the density is important. Tightly crushed foil won't work - the ball should be loosely scrunched. #planetark #easterwaste #eev #recyclefoil #environmenteducation
