Green Scheme & The Environment
At Green Scheme we are also serious about reducing our environmental impact so, inspired by our children who are taught at school to REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE, here is what we do:
|
REDUCE
|
REUSE
|
RECYCLE
|
||
| Reduced peat compost |
 |
|||
| Cardboard packaging |
|
|||
| Plastic packaging bags |
|
|||
| Compost bags |
|
|||
| Spent compost |
|
|||
| Plastic plant pots |
|
|||
| Spent plants / prunings |
|
|
||
| Old fibre-glass containers |
|
|
||
| Office paper waste |
|
|
Now that the compost producers realise that there is money to be made they are getting their act together on reduced peat, coir based composts suitable for base reservoir watered plants.
Shredded paper is the perfect ingredient to mix with lawn clippings to make them both rot down well in our garden compost heap.
We think www.ilovefreegle.org is a great site for pairing up one person’s waste with another person’s need.
