Welcome to
MIDDLESBROUGH Environment City
We are Middlesbrough Environment City (Often abbreviated to MEC or MEnvCity), a charity dedicated to promoting healthy and sustainable living using the ten principles of One Planet Living. We work extensively in and around the Tees Valley to support healthy lifestyles and create sustainable change through community action and events. We also run numerous events across the calendar year.
Our ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life for our community, through sustainability and the promotion of healthy living, whilst reducing the impact on Earth’s resources. After all, there is no other home waiting for us: If we can save the planet while helping the community, we will gladly do so!

This #StopFoodWasteDay, check out the most wasted foods in the UK, and see if you can do your part in helping to prevent food waste for your wallet and for the environment! Our Eco Shop helps to redirect good food from heading to landfill straight from supermarkets into your pantries, but make sure not to waste it when it's there!Understanding what foods you waste is key to reducing the food waste you produce. Here in the UK, the five most wasted foods are bread, potatoes, milk, bananas, and salad & vegetables.
If you want to reduce your food waste, a great place to start is making a list of the foods that you throw away most often. Then, you can make sure you buy less of those items, or freeze them before they go bad.
