Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) do great work to tackle water pollution. We have signed up as one of SAS' Plastic Free Communities. This is a well-structured campaign which can help to unite Swindon in reducing plastic pollution.
Refill connects us with places to eat, drink and shop with less waste. It promotes reuse rather than single-use. We support the scheme in various ways as Refill Swindon.
The pollution of our environment through littering shows a lack of education and care. This negatively impacts Swindon in various ways from mental health to crime to health and safety. Keep Swindon Tidy is a campaign to reduce litter / pollution in Swindon.
E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream globally. A driver of this is the use of non-free / proprietary software. To reduce e-waste, Help Me IT repair, refurbish, provide support, and promote free / libre software and services.
The key aims of this organisation are to bring together community to look after the local environment. Growing local, organic food can greatly reduce our environmental impacts.
Independent media plays an important role in providing accurate information, which is vital to how the public understand and respond to issues such as plastic pollution. The Birds and Bees on Swindon 105.5 is an independent, environmental radio show whose focus leans towards local activities.
We need comprehensive legislation to deal with plastic pollution. As it's not been forthcoming, we lobby local and national government on important aspects of plastic pollution.
