Recycling at camp

F Fiona Public Seen by 432

Each year we end up with copious amounts of dirty recyclables in the skip - we would love to come up with a system that encourages only clean dry recyclables to end up in the skip.

Potential causes to consider
- Too many distractions at camp/ poorly set up recycling systems in the circle
- Lack of knowledge around recycling
- Too much packaging being brought on to the field
- Skips too far away

Hey Guys, here's the info on the next LYCS Zero Waste Educator Training, email [email protected] for more info:

Dublin city centre, 10am-4.30pm, Tues 20th & Wed 21st March 2018

This is a two day training, but participants can opt to do both or either one of the two days as required.

What previous participants have said:

· "I'd like to thank you again for this course. It was absolutely fantastic! It's still settling with me and every day since I'm realising how much I learned from it.I wanted to make sure you know how great it was. I feel very empowered and I want to bring that further now."

· "The discussion about apathy really stuck with me! I think your facilitation was incredible. The framing of ideas was great and the way things were turned on their head.... all excellent."

· "Very informative"

· “More than information, I'm taking away an ability to genuinely consider activism as part of my identity. I connected with the tools today of how to do that"

· "I really liked the circle with objects from nature, I found the workshop plan very useful and got ideas from that!"

· "I would have done trainings with other groups but this was a really nice community, was really nice, just lovely"

The first day aims to up-skill participants so they can create and deliver informative and interactive workshops on how and why to reduce waste. It will give participants lots of ideas on how to run a dynamic & interactive event. Suitable for those who have not done the one-day Zero Waste Educator Training with LYCS already.

The second day will be a deeper exploration of how our way of living is threatening the survival of life on the planet. We will look at issues such as our human development needs, consumerism and the economic system and also explore what impact this crisis is having on us as individuals, as group leaders/activists and on society as a whole. We will explore tools to help ourselves and others move beyond apathy, to recognize our feelings and learn self-care techniques to cope with them and ultimately help channel grief into hope and action to create a life sustaining world. Plenty of ideas for approaches to use when talking about these issues to others are included. Suitable for anyone who has already done the Zero Waste Educator training and wants to go deeper into the learning.

To apply, please download and return the Zero Waste Educator Training Application form 2-day Mar 2018 to [email protected]. The closing date is 14th March but if the course is oversubscribed priority will be given to suitable applicants on a first come first served basis, so please apply asap!
