So frustrating and basic. For the 1000th time: renewables don’t replace fossil fuel unless that fossil fuel is separately constrained. Otherwise more renewables will always mainly mean more energy use. How can this concept not yet be grasped by all? https://t.co/Z8HVTAH7To

Today is international (Hypno)Cat day so I thought I’d treat you all to one of my many recycling jokes!

Why did the human have to recycle his old camera?

Because it wouldn’t go into pawtrait mode…

No, I’m only kitten😸

Help me celebrate by recycling your electricals.

Great day with our LARAC Scholars at Waste Experts treatment facilities in Huddersfield. We all enjoyed an insightful tour and hearing the latest research on reuse. #localauthorites #WEEE #education #reuse

We're waking up on #ewasteday to news that we are now a Friend of Reuse Network, a team of charities that reuse & repair donated electricals and provide them to people in need.

The reuse of goods is crucial for a more sustainable circular economy. https://t.co/1BVgRsaLkc

It is International #ewasteday today!
Between 4 and 5 kg of #ewaste per person is hoarded. Learn why these hidden treasures should not be stockpiled in our houses and what to do with them. https://t.co/kvfQltgDYR

@recycleelectric It's the right thing to do!

@ElizabethOReil8 @WEEEIreland @ForumWeee Sorry I won't be there as I know it will be fab!!

[Recycle Your Electricals @recycleelectric]

This #RecycleWeek we want to say a massive thank you to recycling crews across the UK!

915,000 tonnes of unwanted electricals are sent for reuse and recycling every year ♻️ and we couldn’t do it without the crews 👏

Share if you agree!

Recycled steel is all around us - in toasters, drills, computers, cars…

Better yet, steel is 100% recyclable – it can be recycled over & over again and made into new products.

Best of luck to all charity retail who are reopening their doors to the public, to those who already have and to those who will be soon! It's been a very tough year.

Stay safe and we hope all goes smoothly.
