How are you getting crafty this Christmas? Today we made homemade wreaths only using items foraged from the garden and parks and some leftover ribbon. Have you tried wreath making? #plasticfree #homemadewreath #wreath

It’s the first day of advent and we are sending out a reminder to shop locally and think about buying your fruit and veggies plastic free. #plasticfree #furzedown

@wandbc @wandbc can you please provide an update on recycling sacks? I am still aware of many residents without bags and no sign of any being delivered. The article above is over a month old and clearly no action is being taken. This is not good enough. @LondonRecycles

[Plastic-Free Furzedown @PFFurzedown]

@wandbc can you inform residents of the best way to receive recycling sacks? Many residents have been waiting 5/6 weeks and still haven’t received any. This is not good enough. We understand there is increased waste to collect - but let residents continue to #recycle!

[Plastic-Free Furzedown @PFFurzedown]

@adamseymourd @wandbc Very well spotted. I read the date as 22nd May, but you are right that it was over a month ago. @wandbc clearly this is taking quite some time to deliver to residents.

[Plastic-Free Furzedown @PFFurzedown]

@wandbc Thanks for making us aware of this update. Hopefully residents should receive sacks soon.

Do you use wax wraps as an alternative to cling film? How do you like them and what are your top tips? Tonight I finally got round to refreshing my old wraps by ironing them. Super easy and now they feel brand new. #plasticfree #waxwraps #beeswaxwraps #saynotoplastic

[Plastic-Free Furzedown @PFFurzedown]

Had my first visit at @HealthierWitho1 today and would definitely recommend a visit. Only took 10 mins by bike from #Furzedown. Took a mix of my own bags and stocked up on lots of dried grains, pulses and spices. Have you been yet? #plasticfree #bulkshopping #sustainableliving
