From Brent Council
Think about when you are about to buy or consume something. A product or service perhaps. The different considerations that you are weighing up when asking yourself - do I purchase or do I not? Now think about whether protecting the environment or tackling climate change forms part of this thought process?
Why does it matter? Well, the ‘stuff’ we consume is contributing to the climate crisis by increasing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the world’s atmosphere. Whether this is from the energy used to create the product, the way it has been transported to you, and whether the materials it’s made with are recyclable.
The good news is however, that we have the power to make a difference. Consuming less, reducing waste and using items to their full life cycle is what the ‘Circular Economy’ is all about! This is the economic model of the future if we are tackle climate change, and will go a long way in creating a more sustainable environment.
Join us for a free webinar on Monday 28 February (6pm-7:30pm) Our expert speakers will guide you through this vitally important topic, providing key insights on what the circular economy is and practical tips for what you can do to help.

What is the point, they don't listen.
ReplyDeleteThe polution from all the developments is surely killing us, yet they go o at an unfetted rate.
The loss of gardens and other green spaces is being supported? Even our grassland is being coverted into 3G wildllife deserts and supported by the council and councillors who have no idea about the damage being inflicted.
Why completely re pave Wembley High road when just a few repairs were needed - this unnecessary work has caused much traffic pollution due to the jams caused by the work and by transporting new materials and taking the old pavements away.
ReplyDeleteThey've also removed lovely mature trees which will be replaced with much smaller ones, as well as the trees from Wembley Triangle which have been replaced with silly planters and small plants.
All the while the traffic jam hotspots at junctions of Wembley High Road and Ealing Road and Park Lane remain with no effort made to solve these jams.
Wembley High Road needs more bigger trees it doesn't need new pavements and proper traffic management to clear the pollution.
Brent Council just haven't got any vision, all they have are egos which is creating their distopian future.
