It was early morning Monday 6th August – the last day for Footprint Friends at the World Scout Jamboree. [:'(]
Tired, grubby and buzzing at the prospect of another day at the Jambo, the Footprint Friends team decided to start the day with some fast food breakfast (our camp milk had gone smelly!)
Standing in the line, with our painters overalls and cool stickers we all made a couple of observations:
Firstly, we were really enjoying the ‘get away from it all’ feeling the Jamboree had given us and even though we were oddly dressed, you could see in our faces that we were having an awesome time being away from an office environment. Secondly, as we went to leave, our fast food waste all went into one bin – and that was bits of paper, pancake, card and T bags etc.
Disposing of rubbish in this way is so far removed from the ‘best practice’ we are all being told to abide by at home. It made us think
… Just imagine how much waste is produced and how much potential is missed to re-cycle? What sort of message does this send out?
Back at base, this topic came up and so we thought we’d get you guys to have a think about it too. Let us know what you think – we’ll forward your views to the main offenders. Maybe we can make enough noise to get this looked into and changed. Happy Polling
