What is Earthtime’s Up Project?
Earthtime’s UP Project is all about helping people in and around Elgin reduce their carbon footprint and combat climate change by repairing and reusing more of what otherwise ends up in landfill and is bought new.
At West Lodge in Cooper Park we provide advice and information about how we can live a low carbon lifestyle and reduce waste. We run courses and workshops to up-skill and encourage people to be able to repair and upcycle more, focussing in particular on wood and garments and other textiles. Clothes swishes or swaps are another important and creative way of reducing clothing waste, and our tool library lends out DIY and gardening tools for a modest membership fee. Our eco-book library is also housed at West Lodge, and we have trial kits of 'real' or reusable nappies to lend out, and we have a small range of environmentally friendly cleaning refills and upcycled products for sale too. And there are also volunteering opportunities to get involved in the project. We also provide a venue for other local 'green' projects to host their events to help people repair, share, reduce their carbon footprint and save money.
By giving people the ideas, skills, tools and encouragement to repair and upcycle more of their stuff we can positively change people’s behaviour towards consumption and repair.
"Great project, really valuable to have somewhere making sustainable choices more accessible to people in practical ways."
