Raise awareness in Eastbourne about these disposal places. What`s
App Groups/emails and Social Media. End by: 7.41
5 min 5) Lobbying campaign: “Biomass Plastics”
4 efforts to launch a government focused petition. This began with
“benign plastics”: making products from oil as “end of life”
biodegradable waste. As I have researched this topic, products can
now be made from Biomass. For example tree protectors can be made
from sugar cane waste. I am working on this now. End by: 7.46
10 min 6) Monitoring our campaign's journey towards Carbon
Neutrality by 2030 To get to carbon neutral by 2030 will need regular
(annual?) target setting with reviews. Indicators need agreeing.
Suggestions:
*number of refill stations; *number of PFChampions; *membership of
PFE;
*how many organisations have joined in this monitoring?
We need to share this need with the EBC. This concerns mandating all
organisations to take part.
I held a meeting with a small group of participants for me to outline a
procedure, starting with voluntary participation. Also, I presented my
ideas to the EBC Climate Change Strategy Panel meeting End by: 7.56
