Hi I am keen for the council to stop using glyphosate weed killer which will protect the boroughs bio diversity in their green spaces and parks.  I have written to various councillors to no avail but if our Borough wants to be Green this needs to be considered.  I would like a discussion with members of this group and councillors who would like to support this project.

I would like to discuss how we can encourage the Borough to stop using this weed killer as it is killing our bees and some evidence of being carcinogenic

I don't want to discuss specific campaigns like the Glyphosate one, not because it isn't important, but because we need to decide what the process will be for choosing what campaigns we go with, given that we probably can't do everything.

Not necessarily for meeting no 2, but I've been told the council doesn't support Flexi Zip cars - ie ones that don't have to be returned to the same location they were borrowed from. The info is from a reliable source but I don't know what the council's reasons are for this policy/position.

Sense check the desire amongst network members to include work with youth groups, children and young people to explore education opportunities (greening education?)

E.g. LBBD council Waste Minimisation Team were running Litter and our Environment Workshops for schools and community groups pre-Covid. Does anyone know about these? (see page 17 of PDF in link

Litter

Futility of litter picking; prevention is needed:
- education
- reduce plastic packaging
- plastic / packaging free shop in the borough

- bottle return scheme only in Germany (why?)

Litter is a cultural issue, plastic is a systemic issue

Education

Waste Minimisation Team do education work in schools

Challenge with education - one lesson on waste "versus" seeing all the litter in the streets, adults littering in the street: good wrap around solution could be family events where children attend WITH adults (parents)

Make putting litter in the bin FUN! - e.g. putting litter in the right bin - gamify it!

Gamifying litter - e.g. put litter in Justin Beiber bin to up-vote him / Justin Timberlake to up vote him, make it FUN!

Children and young people need a connection to their environment, otherwise they will not have ownership and won't give a s.....

Sustrans - focus on the positive in messaging in school - so don't say "don't drive to school", say "do ride to school"

What are the gaps in the green sector that we are identifying, filling, or aiming to see filled? Obviously there are green sector gaps in B&D specifically - hence all the examples of ventures in Hackney or wherever that we would like to see replicated in B&D, but we need to ensure that we know who if anyone is trying to fill these gaps.
