Waste Policies
It's been too long and for that I apologise. This doesn't mean there has been nothing to report in the green world just that I have been too busy to track it.
I have tried to draw up some guidelines for YMCA Norfolk as a step towards a zero waste policy. This is about two individuals who are passionate about being green and so if there are any things we may have missed, please point them out.
Oh and BTW, I've always been led to believe that paper recycling can't take envelopes due to the adhesive. Is this correct because I recycle them separately?
