Green Champions


(I passed a poster about this the other day & thought it was a nice scheme, shame in some ways its just about recycling I hope they will extend it to other behaviours...)

FROM THE HACKNEY WEBSITE:

If you feel strongly about recycling and would like to do more within your community, you may like to join our Green Champions scheme. Green Champions can get involved in lots of different ways. You could:

Encourage friends and neighbours to recycle more
Help with the annual festival run by the Green Champions - Be Recreative
Adopt a recycling bank
Act as part of a focus group for the recycling team
Promote the new ways to recycle in Hackney
Get your workplace to adopt great recycling practices
Help out at recycling events
We hold regular meetings for Green Champions with workshops and guest speakers. we also make all of our leaflets available for Green Champions to take away and distribute to friends, family and neighbours. This is a great opportunity to meet likeminded people and contribute to Hackney's community in a positive way.

View the events page and click 'Be Recreative' to see more about the annual festival created and run by the Green Champions.

Phone 020 8356 6688 or email recycling@hackney.gov.uk to request an application form for the Green Champions programme.

A great initiative. Experiential is super important in bridging the awareness - action gap and I'm sure we'll see more of these events in the future.
