Environment

We seek to help protect our environment

Looking over a field to a large garbage area

Rotary is committed to protecting the environment. Our own Club is looking at positive things we can do:

  • as individuals;
  • as a Club;
  • in conjunction with other Clubs; and
  • at District level.

All Club members are asked to take part in some of the litter picks arranged in Chelmsford.

Writtle Christmas Tree Festival

A small Christmas tree bearing decorations made from used blister packsWe again entered a Christmas tree into the annual Christmas Tree Festival at All Saints Church, Writtle. This took place over the weekend of 2-3 December 2023.

We didn’t seek to impress with the beauty of our tree or the design that went into placing the decorations. Instead we used the opportunity to publicise our Club’s concern about the disposal of used blister packs from pills and tablets. We loaded the tree with decorations handmade from blister packs.

An accompanying display card explained why we had done so and the extent of the problem caused by the difficulty of recycling blister packs. (We had to close our own recycling project due to the increased cost.) It certainly created some interest. Hopefully it also made more people aware of the situation.
