Welcome to
MIDDLESBROUGH Environment City
Charlotte and James helped out the Green Shoots team last week at Middlemarsh, North Ormesby. As well as litter picking, Charlotte and James managed to remove a tree that had fallen and was blocking the beck and obstructing the flow of water. Keeping the becks clean and free from debris is a really important part of the work on the Green Shoots project!
The team also had a Zoom site visit from Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) last week where they were taken on a virtual tour around Middlemarsh and were given the opportunity to speak to some of the kickstarters and volunteers.
DEFRA came back to us with some great feedback, “I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU from the whole [Green Shoots] team for your work on these digital site visits! We’ve just been buzzing on our group teams chat about how great it was, how engaging Jade and Colin were and how lovely and insightful it was to hear from the Kickstarters and volunteers. Makes us proud to be working on this fund! Thanks again and please pass on our thanks to the team at Green Shoots ?”.
Well done to everyone on Green Shoots Project for their continued hard work on Middlemarsh, and a huge thank you to DEFRA for their fantastic feedback!

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.
