We are delighted to be part of the Highland Community Waste Partnership (HCWP) which aims to raise awareness of how unsustainable consumption contributes to climate change, reduce waste and build a movement for more sustainable consumption across the Highlands. The partnership is co-ordinated by the environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful and funded by the National Lottery. Through a programme of collaborative grassroots activity, we will focus on key issues such as reducing food waste; tackling single use items; and increasing the use of pre-loved, repaired and shared goods. We will do this by raising awareness, learning and building skills through events and workshops and creating new systems and services through targeted projects. We want to help support communities to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute towards Scotland’s ambitions to create a more circular economy.
