Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Plastic-free/sustainability group in Harringay

As mentioned in the thread about landfill waste here, I would like to set up a community group for people who are interested in trying to tackle the problem of plastic waste. As far as I know, there is a sustainability group in Muswell Hill but there doesn’t seem to be one in Harringay.

The main aims of this group would be:

  • To share tips and advice on ways to reduce waste in our daily lives, e.g. by switching to plastic-free/reusable/DIY alternatives 
  • To work together to encourage local businesses around Green Lanes to reduce unnecessary waste and provide sustainable options to customers 

The above are just my initial thoughts and other suggestions are welcome. If this sounds of interest, I would like to set up an initial meeting somewhere on Green Lanes - please could you complete this Doodle poll so I can arrange a suitable date and place!

Thanks,
Alice

Dear Alice, apologies I have been away. How are things shaping up for a new plastic-free group?  The next Friends of the Earth meeting (Wood Green) is on 25th October (not confirmed).

Muswell Hill FoE have their AGM on 4th October at the Friends Meeting House, Church Crescent in Muswell Hill, 7.30pm.

Hi Alice, are we still meeting up again this evening? I haven't seen anything posted on HOL.

Hi Michele, I sent you a message yesterday (check your HOL inbox and hopefully it'll be there), I'm not well at the moment so I think we should rearrange it for a few weeks time. I will post the next meetup on here once I'm feeling better.
