🌿✨ Haikus for Hope ✨🌿

This week's haiku celebrates the wonderful variety of wildlife and nature that can capture our attention when we're outdoors. 🐞🌲

🕊️ Seagulls, roses, frogs
🐛 Funny caterpillars sees
🌳 Love high up, tall tree

A delightful collection of observations from the natural world, from colourful flowers and curious caterpillars to birds overhead and towering trees. 🌹🐸✨

Nature is full of surprises, and sometimes the most memorable moments come from simply noticing the plants, animals and insects around us. Whether you're exploring a park, wandering through a garden or enjoying a walk along Plymouth's waterfront, there's always something new to discover. 🌿💚

Thank you for sharing your haiku!

🔧♻️ Happy International Repair Day! ♻️🔧

Before you replace it, could you repair it?

International Repair Day celebrates the skills, knowledge and community spirit that help keep items in use for longer, reducing waste and saving valuable resources. 🌍💚 Today highlights the importance of repairing everyday items rather than throwing them away and buying new.

Why not give something a second life today?
🔧 Repair a small household item
👕 Mend a piece of clothing
🧸 Fix a toy instead of replacing it
⚡ Repair electricals where it's safe and practical to do so
🤝 Share repair skills with friends and family

Don't know where to start? Plymouth is home to a fantastic network of Repair Cafés, where volunteer repairers can help bring broken items back to life while sharing practical skills and preventing waste. 🛠️☕

Plymouth City Council's guidance reminds us that reducing, reusing and repairing is even better for the environment than recycling.

🎃👻 What's scarier than Halloween? Throwing away food, costumes and pumpkins that could have had a second life!

Getting ready for Halloween? Plymouth City Council's Seasonal Waste page is packed with simple ways to enjoy a more sustainable spooky season. 💚

Why not try:
🎃 Turning pumpkin flesh and seeds into tasty meals
🌱 Using your food waste caddy for pumpkin leftovers
👗 Reusing costumes from previous years
🔄 Swapping outfits with friends and family
🧵 Creating your own DIY costume accessories

And remember, pumpkins don't belong in the brown bin or left out in nature, where they can harm wildlife. 🦔🍂

Small changes can help reduce waste, save money and make Halloween a little greener.

🔌♻️ It's International E-Waste Day! ♻️🔌

Today marks International E-Waste Day, a global campaign highlighting the importance of reusing and recycling unwanted electricals. This year's Great Cable Challenge is encouraging us all to tackle our "drawer of doom" and rescue old cables, chargers and electrical items that are sitting unused at home. 🌍📱

Did you know the average UK household is holding onto around 5 unused cables? These cables contain valuable materials like copper, which can be recycled again and again. 🔌⚡

Why not use today as an opportunity to:
📦 Sort through old drawers and cupboards
🔌 Gather unwanted chargers and cables
🛠️ Repair electricals where possible
🤝 Donate working items for reuse
♻️ Recycle anything with a plug, battery or cable

And remember, Plymouth City Council's guidance is clear: reducing, reusing and repairing items is even better than recycling them. Find out more at tinyurl.com/PCCReduceReuse 💚

💬 How many old chargers and cables do you think you're holding onto?
