Did you know that according to a recent study, there are approximately “823 million unused or broken” electrical items around the home? According to a recent article in The Guardian (“Britons urged to dig out unwanted electricals to tackle copper shortage”, 8 October 2024), people have been urged by scientists to go “urban mining”. Your old chargers, cables, Nokia 3310, Ipod – essentially anything electrical – could be put to great use and help to, no less, “decarbonise the economy”! Even that beats plastic recycling.
Further from home and closer to school, Sutton High will be sending a delegation of students to the first ever GDST Sustainability Conference, hosted by Blackheath High School. Students will participate in workshops and lectures on: Fast Fashion, Future Design, Safeguarding Ecosystem, Sustainable Textiles and Sustainable Architecture.
