🌍✨ Reusables at the ready!

It's , so here's a wee shout out to some of the places across the islands where you can reduce your plastic waste by refilling!

💚 Bùth Bharraigh - Bring your own containers and top up on essentials — from eco-friendly cleaning products to everyday household items — all while helping reduce plastic waste on the island. 🌱

💚 Sandwick Bay candles - Return your glass candle jars and have them refilled for a discounted price, or bring your own bottles and fill up on surface spray, washing up liquid, or laundry liquid. 🌿

💚 ishga Skin Care - Choose refill options from across their skincare bottle range
and reuse your existing pump and glass bottle, meaning less plastic use and less plastic waste. 🪴

🗣️ Do you know of other island businesses offering refills? Tell us about them and give them a shout out below! 👇

📍 “I’ve noticed more storms and serious erosion on the dunes and cliffs, especially on the south-east side of Tolsta Beach. It feels like it’s getting worse each year.”

Have you noticed worsening erosion where you are in the Western Isles?

This person's story is part of the Our Climate Story Map, a growing collection of local experiences from across the Outer Hebrides.

Please, share your story with us, and help us build a fuller picture of how climate change is affecting our islands.

🌊🪸 Did you know - every second breath we take is oxygen from the ocean?🌊🦭

Our oceans are directly linked to our climate and it's crucial that we protect them. So, what better time to remind us all why, than on !

The oceans provide our greatest buffer to climate change, acting as a vital carbon sink, absorbing carbon dioxide and heat.

Here in the Outer Hebrides, we also have ocean ecosystems like seagrass meadows and kelp forests which are highly effective at storing carbon.

However, degradation of ocean ecosystems, caused by pollution, overfishing, and climate change impacts, can reduce their ability to properly store carbon and support biodiversity. This further exacerbates climate change.

It's vital - and urgent - that we do everything we can to protect our oceans.

Join the Outer Hebrides Climate Hub today to learn more about what you can do to protect marine life here in the islands:

✨ The Ideas Into Action fund is back! ✨

Got a climate-friendly idea? In Round One of the fund, we’re offering grants of up to £500 to help make it happen! 🌍💡

We love it when you think outside the box, so whether it’s a local learning project, starting a tool library, planting marram grasses on the dunes, or a new way to share knowledge — if it tackles climate change, we want to hear it.

📅 It's simple to apply - just send us an email with one sheet of A4 explaining who you are, what your idea is, and what the climate impact of your idea will be:

🎉🌿 Folks, we are delighted to announce... We have a brand new, free, online training course - an Introduction to Sustainability! 🌿🎉

♻️ climatehebrides.learnworlds.com ♻️

We've created the course specifically for the Western Isles - there are five interactive modules, covering adaptation, waste reduction, energy, transport, and food and diet, all created in direct response to islanders’ concerns, gathered through our Climate Hub outreach projects.

The course is free, accessed from the Climate Hebrides website, and there's a CV-boosting certificate for those who complete all five modules. We hope the course will inspire island residents, organisations, and businesses to live and work more sustainably; each module offers the knowledge and tools needed to take meaningful local action.

Importantly, the course is island-led; designed and created here, using island-specific training points and featuring a host of island voices - see who you can spot!

Take a look - and please help us to spread the word!
