Islington Environmental Alliance

Main focus

• Work towards a circular economy in Islington and in our own lives, especially by reducing the waste produced and reusing as much as possible.

Key phrases

• Plastic free shopping.
• Reuse and recycling.
• Food waste.

Current projects

1. Challenge the Council and the North London Waste Authority over how they will reach the waste targets set by themselves, the Government and the London Environmental Strategy.
2. Take part in practical projects such as organising recycling and composting in community centres, running electrical repair sessions, and gardening.
3. Raise awareness of waste issues by running stalls at events across the borough and ensuring a focus on the environment at elections.
4. Campaign for a complete reuse and recycling information pack for all new residents, help for vulnerable people on estates to recycle, and a permanent venue for repair events in Islington.
