The summer holidays are now so close I can almost taste that freedom from the school run! Those glorious six weeks when there is less rushing around, less packed lunches to make and less general stress and chaos in the house.

Now is the time that we generally start to think about purchasing school uniform, shoes and other supplies but is there a way to do this that is kinder to the planet?

Source second hand school clothes.

New school uniform is a costly business. Why not reuse and recyle instead? You could ask around to see if friends have any that they wish to sell. Many people will just be glad to pass them on to a good home for free. You can often find second hand school uniform in charity shops. The benefit of children growing so fast is that they normally grow out of their school clothes…

More turmoil awaits the crisis-stricken Latin American nation after clashes erupted yesterday between government troops and forces loyal to opposition leader Juan Guaidó. Embattled President Nicolás Maduro described Guaidó’s “Operation Freedom” — an ultimately failed gamble to spark a broader uprising — as a coup attempt, while Venezuela’s intelligence chief appeared to break ranks from the president. Guaidó has called for a massive march today.

Burning plastic makes the air toxic

That’s why we need to do something drastic

We need change in the way we manage our waste

We need to protect our health, let’s make haste

We need to quickly get different bins and put them in many places

Tell everyone how protecting the environment will help them to have smiles on their faces

Refuse the plastic packaging and demand biodegradable packaging material

You will want to spread the word about environmental protection , and stay away from denial

Clean air is important, let us protect our lungs so we won”t be sick

Tell everyone why we all need to reduce our use of plastic
