Be prepared it`s quite long.It covers,wipes,sachets,single use bottles & cups and possibly other things I`ve forgotten.I didn`t give `evidence` every time,which is asked for,(!!) though I did try to provide links to either real evidence or at least articles from respected organisations laying out the problems.
I suggest biodegradables-easily obtainable and `return-clean and take another full one` systems for bottles-like Milk deliveries. I did that because there are sytems to copy(milkmen) and sytems are already half there in some supermarkets anyway. I`ve also suggested Loyalty points can be consumer incentives! It`s very easy to find links to items that fit the bill on biodegradables and since they are sellers and they provide costings too.
Worth doing IMHO

Save The Planet Why protecting the planet is essential to prevent future pandemics & failing economies.See 1 comment...https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/17/perspectives/planet-climate-pandemics/index.html?fbclid=IwAR0uHvPaj_KkG3gDrvybb6YvtZ4tKaaWK8jfnHq2jNS-mjEHD7i_KV26AkM The latest World Economic Forum's annual Global Risks Report reveals that world leaders now rank biodiversity loss as one of the most severe risks facing humanity in the coming decade, alongside climate action failure and extreme weather events. More than half of global GDP coming from industries that rely on nature, such as construction and food, businesses are also calling for action to protect and restore nature, which is essential for a resilient global economy. -

Hello 60 users! Now East Barnet is ONE group instead of 2 and has a recognisable photo perhaps we`ll all use it a bit. Let`s hope we get our festival next summer-I`ve kinda missed it-even though it`s less than perfect.

See 3 comments...There`s been some talk of the Local Loop and the Business Directory. I`ve got into the habit of NOT going there so I did and found it interesting-there`s enough in my area unlike some. BUT the search is all wrong. If I want to look up a business it`s very common that I have no idea which business,I only know what type- Gas Engineer, Plumber ect. So why isn`t there a search for business type? Seems obvious to me that people don`t always know what the business they are hoping to find might be called.

See 9 comments...Puns. Puns for the Educated Minds 1. The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi. 2. I thought I saw an eye - doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian . 3. She was only a whisky - maker, but he loved her still. 4. A rubber - band pistol was confiscated from an algebra class, because it was a weapon of math disruption. 5. No matter how much you push the envelope it'll still be stationery. 6. A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering. 7. A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart. 8. Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie. 9. A hole has been found in the nudist - camp wall. The police are looking into it. 10. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. 11. Atheism is a non-prophet organization. 12. Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other: 'You stay here; I'll go on a head.' 13. I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me. 14. A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab center said: 'Keep off the Grass.' 15. The midget fortune-teller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large. 16. The soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran. 17. A backward poet writes inverse. 18. In a democracy it's your vote that counts. In feudalism it's your count that votes. 19 . When cannibals ate a missionary, they got a taste of religion. 20. If you jumped off the bridge in Paris , you'd be in Seine . 21. A vulture carrying two dead raccoons boards an airplane. The stewardess looks at him and says: 'I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger.' 22. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. One turns to the other and says: 'Dam!' 23. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too. 24. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, 'I've lost my electron.' The other says, 'Are you sure?' The first replies, 'Yes, I'm positive.' 25. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root - canal? His goal: transcend dental medication. 26. There was the person who sent ten puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.

See 7 comments...A new scam method people should be aware of. Two-Factor authorisation is the process of requiring secondary authorisation to make a key change such as password or bank details. Banks and other organisations will send a code to an email address or telephone to ensure the genuine user is aware of the change, but fraudsters have identified ways to beat this process. Fraudsters have been contacting fraud victims purporting to be from the bank/organisation, they state that to verify the call and pass through the security process they will send a 2FA code to the victim. At the same time, they go through the password reset / bank change process, which automatically sends the code through. They then ask the victim to read the code back to verify their identity, which they can input to the system and bypass the control. TLDR: NEVER ever give out your password or a 2FA code over email or the telephone.

It`s just the first one I`ve come across that mentions Client Earth who`s campaign strategy is to take companies(possibly governments?) to court over their activities. Such a group has been long needed!😀 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/bp-greenwashing-climate-crisis-client-earth-oil-company-a9232986.html?fbclid=IwAR236xZ3ZjleBDvpXSrdMnKnSsdaVoncwouw6g76vOEudMGEPSanfsl741k
