Now at the @camdengardencentre our Camden Forest labels are on trees so if you buy a tree you can register them at the Camden Forest website and become a tree guardian! We want to grow as many trees as possible in Camden- at least 2025 by 2025. Help us to reach this goal.

We are also planning some tree giveaways in the coming months, if you have any suggestions for areas or locations where we could hold a tree giveaway let us know #camdenforest #camden #2025 #community #trees #forest #greencity #treecover #nature #biodiversity #think&do

Camden Climate Citizen Panel Applications are no

Camden Climate Citizen Panel

Applications are now open to join Camden’s new citizen-led panel! The council are looking for people that live or work in Camden to continue to play a vital role in assisting with Camden’s response to the climate crisis. The creation of the panel came as a recommendation from the Citizen’s Assembly which took place last summer, and is an important next step in continuing to empower citizens, whilst committing to the delivery of Camden’s new Climate Action Plan at a borough-wide level.

To help deliver the Climate Action Plan – an ambitious five-year programme of projects and activities that brings to life a vision of a zero-carbon borough by 2030, the council will be recruiting 15 panel members to review progress against the actions set out in the plan. Panel members will be asked to sit on the panel for two years and attend quarterly meetings. In return panel members will receive a £150 voucher per year for their commitment.

If you would like to apply, please see more information and details of how to apply https://consultations.wearecamden.org/supporting-communities/camden-climate-citizen-panel/

The deadline for applications has been extended and will now close on Friday 31 July.

From today in the UK we will all be required to we

From today in the UK we will all be required to wear face coverings when going into shops, this is in addition to wearing them on public transport. This is important to reduce the spread of the virus and help protect others. Increasingly however single use masks are being littered in the streets, not only adding to the world's plastic pollution problem but potentially adding to the spread… someone will need to pick this litter up.
A cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to a single use mask is making some at home that you can easily wash and insert a filter into. @littlehandsdesign did a brilliant workshop via zoom with us earlier in the year showing us how to make your own masks. The ones in the 4th picture here were made by Carlos from an old T-shirt!
Recycling in action!
The instructions for making the mask are on https://littlehandsdesign.com/the-good-and-the-bad-about-diy-face-masks/
We’d love to see your pics! Share with us #makeyourmask

Simple Swaps for the bathroom! All the lotions an

Simple Swaps for the bathroom!
All the lotions and potions we use in our daily routines can contribute to creating a lot of plastic. There are lots of easy swaps that can be made to reduce the amount of plastic you use; swapping for a bar of soap, a shampoo bar or even no longer using wet wipes.
A top tip is also to use everything up! Packaging is often designed inefficiently and may seem empty even when it isn’t. Cutting open your toothpaste or watering down your shampoo towards the end help to get the most out of it.
Again if you can’t swap everything, making one or two changes and sticking with them will make a big difference.

Doing a food shop can feel daunting when it comes

Doing a food shop can feel daunting when it comes to going plastic free, but you can see it as something fun and somewhat of a challenge to overcome! You may find a local corner shop, green grocer or market that provides more plastic free options than your usual supermarket.
Most supermarkets do have more loose fruit and veg these days, shopping around and finding the best option for you may take time so don’t give up on your first go. It can help to write a list, this could contain what you intend to swap the item for. Going into the shop with an open mind and flexibility to try new things.
If you need to buy something packaged in plastic because there are no loose options, make a note of it, when you get home research if there are plastic free alternatives. Most importantly have fun!

July is here! And so it is time for Plastic Free J

July is here! And so it is time for Plastic Free July. There are lots of ways to reduce the plastic in your life. So much of the plastic we come into contact with daily is single use and unnecessary. Camden Unwrapped is campaigning to reduce single use plastic in the borough. Plastic Free July is a global campaign aiming to get people to reduce plastic in their day to day lives. To experiment with what we need and don’t need.
If going totally plastic free sounds like too much of a challenge or is too much at the moment, then why not commit to just swapping one or two things, you could then increase this throughout the month!
Let us know the plastic you are removing from your life in the comments! #plasticfreejuly
