Two more days to end till the end of recycle week. It has been great weather today and I have been outside all day.

Recycle Week Reading

The two recycling week article which took my interest today were;-

Green think tank for kids held at recycling plant – In the first-ever green think tank for children in the UK, manufacturers and retailers have been urged to do away with unnecessary packaging on games and toys. The message came the youngsters attending the summit sponsored by British Gas, called Our Planet, Our Say. The event saw the launch of a new schoolchildren’s eco-group that represents more than 9,500 schools. (click here for full article).

Party goers can go environ-mental at this year’s festivals - Festival goers at Glastonbury festival, which falls on Recycle week, will be offered the chance to recycle their old electrical items as the organisers are encouraging revellers to be more environmentally friendly.

Workers at the event, as well as festival-goers, are being asked to recycle their old items at special collection points being set up in conjunction with waste management company and Recycle Week. All materials collected will be transported to a recycling plant after the festival and processed according to Environment Agency requirements.

Lunch (Recycle Week Pledge)

After being taken out for lunch yesterday I thought that today I should try and make something special with the left overs in my fridge and recycle them in to something interesting. So, I decided to make a home made organic pizza. With some tomatoes, chicken, spinach, sweetcorn, mushrooms and cheese i managed to use most of the left overs in my fridge and provide a healthy and wholesome meal for my kids.

Recycle week picture of the day

I came across the picture below from a site called  ’Eco Pic Of The Day‘. Titled Field Art – The Street Mike Skinner’s Crop Circles, I thought Mike Skinner’s Crop Circle could be classified as recyclable art because it can be recycled in to a normal  normal field again.

This may seems a bit week fro a recycle week news item, but it is a cool picture which i want to share with you all.

The crop circle image of The Streets musician Mike Skinner was created in a field in Somerset near the Glastonbury Festival site. Skinner, who is playing on the Jazz World stage at the event on Friday night, said he made the huge work of art because he wants his face “to be seen from space”

Recycle Week Daily Video

Following on the recycled art theme, i found this video which shows you how to make a plastic flower out of recycled plastic bottles.
