GreenGuide_0809_cover.indd 1 11/9/08 20:04:25 Introduction Introduction BACK IN 1988, the first Shrewsbury Friends of the Earth recycling guide consisted of 3 sheets of paper – detailing 4 bottle banks, no can banks and a few charities and individuals collecting scrap paper. 20 years later, we are producing this book! 2006 was the year the world finally woke up to climate change - and it has hardly been out of the headlines since. The issues that Friends of the Earth have been campaigning about, and trying to get the world to pay attention to are now the daily content of news bulletins. Households everywhere are feeling this pressure - in higher energy, food and fuel bills, as the potential scarcity is recognised. Given the apocalyptic nature of much of the media coverage you would be forgiven for feeling a little worried about the future. However there is no need to despair just yet – if we act quickly enough, we can still avoid the worst effects of climate change. There are many ways you can play your part in reducing your own ‘carbon footprint.’ Whether it’s buying locally produced food, swapping the car for a bike or the bus, making an ethical investment, recycling and composting the contents of your rubbish bin or kitting your home out with energy efficient light bulbs and your very own solar panels - Shrewsbury people are now recycling over 42% of their waste, and many are cutting car use.
