Zero Waste Devizes

Zero waste subgroup of @SustainDevizes. Working towards a circular future for our town through community projects and engagement.

[Samantha Drury Shore @AGirlCalledSam]

We asked kids from our local primary school to contribute work to our Imagination Station, visioning what Devizes might look like in 2033 and expressing their ideas/concerns for the future. And wow, they’ve absolutely smashed it. Can’t wait to share this at our Fair on 17th June

We’re doing quite a bit of visioning at @SustainDevizes Sustainability Fair next month.
Very much inspired by @robintransition’s book From What Is to What If (a must read if your haven’t)… we hope you can join us, and let your imagination run wild 💚

More swapping! Yay!
Plus tonnes of other awesome family-friendly stuff happening at Devizes Sustainability Fair on 17th June. Please come along…

Maths done… it was actually over 350kg of items reclaimed at our Swap Shop. Incidentally, that’s the approximate weight of an adult polar bear.

[Zero Waste Devizes @PlasticDevizes]

Wow! Thanks so much to everyone that turned out and supported our Swap Shop yesterday. It was wonderfully busy and we had so many encouraging comments. Final total TBC but we believe over 300kg of items were reclaimed 💚

Never mind fancy dress… Cultivating a love of reading is one of the most powerful things you can do for your child. Come along to our Swap Shop on Saturday and pick up some books for free! (Plus don’t forget your local library if you have one). Hooray for books! #WorldBookDay

[Zero Waste Devizes @PlasticDevizes]

Date for your diary… hoping to make these Swap Shops a regular thing (maybe even monthly?) but we need storage space between swaps to make that happen. Can anyone in #Devizes offer help with that?

[Zero Waste Devizes @PlasticDevizes]

Come on down to St James Church and pick up some free Christmas gifts! #Devizes

Tonight in Devizes! Tickets are still available and they are free. @SustainDevizes members are baking today, so come along, eat some cake, learn about the problems associated with single-use plastic (spoiler: it’s worse than you think) and then let’s talk solutions

[Samantha Drury Shore @AGirlCalledSam]

This isn’t the complete set by the way, there was loads more, and we only paid a tenner! If you’re in Devizes, look up CHIPS Party Kit. If not, check out the @partykitnetwork as there’s bound to be one near you 👌🏻

[Samantha Drury Shore @AGirlCalledSam]

Party for my daughter’s 6th birthday today and I’m delighted to say that instead of a bin bag full of single-use “paper” plates, we brought home a bit of washing up, and will give everything back tomorrow. That’s right, you can hire partyware 🎉🎉 #SundaySustainableSwaps
