The Health Library is supporting Zero Waste Week 2018 #ZeroWasteWeek

What is Zero Waste Week?

This is an annual awareness campaign aimed at reducing landfill. The event runs from 3rd – 7th September 2018.

In the Health Library we are focusing on reducing the amount of plastic material that we throw away. During Zero Waste week we will be doing a waste audit to check what we are throwing out and how we could improve our recycling effort.

You can join in by visiting the Zero Waste website

Make a pledge and also please see our display in the Health Library and our handout on avoiding hidden plastics.
