Why I volunteer for ECCG

I went to an event at Empty Common Community Garden recently and met a lady called Isobelle who has been volunteering there for some weeks. She kindly agreed to answer some questions about her experiences - this is what she said. I hope that if you were thinking about volunteering but not sure, then this will convince you.

When did you first come to the gardens?  My first session in the garden was in late August (24th) this year and I've been every Sunday since. I first came across the garden on a walk last winter, but didn't realise it was a community project in which anyone could join in. I went to a community event by Cambridge Zero earlier in the summer and saw a flyer about the garden there, and then saw the Sunday sessions on the events page on the Transition Cambridge website. 

Reducing the mountain of e-waste

The UK produces about 6 million tonnes of e-waste annually, of which households are responsible for about 400,000 tonnes each year. That's not just phones, laptops, and computers - an ever increasing number of products and appliances now incorporate some electronics, and anything with a plug or battery qualifies as e-waste.
