SUMMARY:Zero Waste Scotland: we need to talk about consumption
DESCRIPTION:We need to rethink how we consume in Scotland and around the world. Around four-fifths of Scotland’s footprint comes from the products and materials we manufacture\, use\, and throw away. In fact\, the average Scot consumes 18.4 tonnes of materials every year – that’s the equivalent of 50kg per week on average. \nThe recent appointment of the first Circular Economy Minister in Scotland provides the opportunity to accelerate circularity and change Scotland for the better. \nThe discussion sessions include \n\nBridging the overconsumption and carbon gap\nCircular cities and regions\nBreaking the consumption habit\nRethinking the food system to reduce food waste\nGlobal supply chains and business models\nTurning waste into valuable resources\n\nRegister here. \n

SUMMARY:Skye Climate Action: Repair as an antidote to consumerism
DESCRIPTION:A meeting to move forward plans for a local Repair Cafe\, initially in the Broadford area\, but in the hope that it will spread around Skye and Raasay.  To stimulate thinking and discussion\, we will be joined by Miriam Adcock or colleague from Zero Waste Scotland\, speaking on their recently-launched campaign for responsible consumption. \nOver recent months\, Skye’s repair enthusiasts have had many conversations and a couple of physical meetings. Ideas emerging are that the Repair Cafe would be informal and social\, solutions would be worked out together\, with teaching and learning of skills. Some items would be retained by the original owner\, but some would be made available free or at low cost to the community. The recent ‘Waste Not at Hobbitin’ event showed that exchanging unwanted items can work alongside repair or refurbishment. These ways of re-using items fits into the circular economy and reduces consumption of new resources (and carbon cost). \nJust about any items can be considered by the Repair Cafe: clothes\, soft furnishings\, toys\, bikes\, shoes\, tools\, computers\, electrical appliances\, furniture\, household / garden / croft stuff … Bring it along or ask about it and get advice. It might be that there is no-one in the group who can fix it\, but we will also keep a list of professional ‘fixers’ and be able to refer on. We don’t wish to take business away from commercial repairers\, but to foster a culture of repair and re-use. If the challenge and satisfaction of mending or doing things up becomes the norm\, the need to have ‘new stuff’ becomes less dominant. That way\, there should be plenty for community groups and those in the business of restoration. \nThe aims of the meeting are: to firm up some of the ideas – and take on new ones\, identify people who are\, or might be interested in contributing from time to time; decide on at least one physical meeting in the next month or so; keep the momentum going. Come along if you want to know more or to chip in to the discussion. \nContact Anne for the zoom link.

SUMMARY:Ethical Consumer Week
DESCRIPTION:We’re not on track to meet global carbon emission reductions goals. \nEthical Consumer Week 2021 will ask\, what will it take to bridge the gap? How can businesses\, governments and consumers work together to make the change required? And what might a fairer\, more equitable world look like on the other side? \nEach day will feature a different theme with speakers and events\, including food & farming\, clothing\, money\, retail\, housing and energy\, technology and transport. \nEthical Consumer Week partners are Ecotricity\, the Co-op Bank\, Your Co-op\, VEO and Ethex. \nTickets are priced as ‘pay as you feel’. \nMore info at www.ethicalconsumerweek.com

SUMMARY:Skye Climate Action: Climate and health - the co-benefits of action
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is a crisis\, but so too\, are current demands on the creaking National Health Service.  Addressing climate change benefits health (and health systems) and vice versa\, in areas such as diet\, physical activity and air pollution\, and many other aspects. \nThis session will start with a presentation to illustrate some of the links\, to be followed by Q+A\, discussion\, and your suggestions for climate-healthy lifestyles. \nZoom link from anne@skyeclimateaction.org
