Tips for a Plastic-Free Christmas

Date: 
Mon, 22/11/2021

Monday 22nd November, 7pm
The Hub at Chesterfield FC.
Organised by Plastic Free Chesterfield
FREE

Here, Steph Mannion of Steph's Sustainable Stuff will be your guide to enjoying a plastic-free Christmas.

Consumers have the power to ditch single-use plastic and put pressure on corporates to do the same. With shoppers in the UK spending over £2 billion over the holiday months, Christmas seems to be a time for spending, and many businesses tend to rely on festivities.  

Please make sure you arrive in good time. You'll also have time to do some shopping as Steph will set up a pop-up shop.

Tickets are limited to 30 people.

'Kermit Was Right’ - An Argument Against the Idea That Being Green is Easy

Date: 
Thu, 18/11/2021

Transition Buxton Mini-Seminar
Thursday 18th November, 7.30pm
Online & In-person
FREE

In a speech to the UN, Boris Johnson challenged the message of Muppets character Kermit the Frog. Terry Newholm agrees with Kermit.  An opinion paper published in the middle of 2021 reviewed our present environmental situation with the latest data. Using his interpretation of this paper, Terry will argue that the public service script writers for Kermit were right: being green isn’t easy; possible but not easy.
