Hi everyone,
I am looking to gather up forks for use at community events. I have been attempting to go waste-free and after a recent event found that plastic forks and "Compostable" forks were the biggest culprits left in the rubbish and compost (the compostable ones need an industrial environment to break down).
So I am looking for some help - if you have a few spare forks in your kitchen drawer please send them my way - I will come and pick up.
They will use them at all our events going forward and I will be encouraging others to use them as well.
And if you have other stuff you are giving away like knives and plates and wine glasses we will take them too and not just restrict it to forks.
Thank you in advance and we hope you can help us out.

Poll: Would you let the grass and weeds in your local parks grow to feed and home pollinators?

But actually a neat and tidy green lawn is a food desert for pollinators, and leaving grass unmown and letting so-called weeds like clover and dandelion flower provides food for bees and helps support biodiversity. Would you be happy if your local authority let the grass in your local parks grow long and allowed weeds to flourish?
