S4 Ep1 - Eco-friendly Christmas tips with Plastic Free Home

The RG10 Podcast - featuring the people, places and events of interest across our area of the Thames Valley

Dave Lamont is a regular guy: a Berkshire resident with a good job and young family. He explains who and what inspired him to set up the Plastic Free Home in 2018: a blog and Facebook community dedicated to seeking and sharing ideas for more sustainable living.Hot on the heels of COP26, the global climate summit in Glasgow, we know that the urgency has never been greater for human behaviour to change, yet the task can feel insurmountable. What difference can we make as individuals to the race against time?Plastic Free Home has clearly struck a chord, with over 35,000 followers. The idea is simple: everyone can play a part by adopting small changes in their daily life that all add up. The more people that choose to make a difference, the greater the global impact. Dave writes regularly (including in RG10 magazine) on subjects such as avoiding single use plastics, reducing waste, protecting the natural world and supporting ethical businesses that share these values. In this podcast, he suggests what to consider for a more eco-friendly Christmas, from making more sustainable choices when it comes to gifts, wrapping and food to prioritising what really matters - friends, family and quality time over yet more 'stuff'. Listen in for some great tips for making gifts more meaningful and reducing waste.Talking about environmental initiatives in the local area, Dave acknowledges the contribution of Twyford Together (the community organisation behind TRIP - Twyford Rethinks Its Plastic, TerraCycle schemes and Bee Friendly Together), Twyford Parish Council with its tree planting events, the good level of engagement in local schools and positive measures by Wokingham Borough Council.
