Are you a butt flicker, stomper or binner? 👀 Hopefully after reading this, you’ll be a binner. As #lockdown rules are loosened and we’re spending more time socialising outdoors, unfortunately it’s likely we’ll see more #litter around. One form of litter that isn’t always noticed as much is cigarette butts, but as small as they are –they can be a huge issue! As the outdoor picnics, BBQs and (hopefully) sunny days increase, let’s make sure we bin our butts. Know a serial butt-flicker? Tag them below! #ButtSeriously #Whatsinyourbutt #BinOurButts #CigaretteButts #JoinTheHubbub #Environment #FridayFoodForThought #cigarette 
Meet Karen 👋 ⭐️ Karen lives in Swansea. She's a busy mum and is a parent-carer for her adult daughter and four sons. Karen said the pandemic had a “huge and profound impact on our lives”. When social workers switched to using Whatsapp, Karen found it hard to get her usual support without a device. She said, “It’s notorious in the parent carer community that we neglect ourselves and our needs” in putting the children first. She hopes the phone will give her extra headspace with access to the world and reduce the isolation she felt in lockdown. Thanks to Swansea Council for Voluntary Service for getting a #CommunityCalling phone to Karen. You might have even spotted Karen getting interviewed by ITV Wales 🎥 What a star ⭐️ #Community Calling is distributing devices in South London, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, Swansea, Cardiff – and we’re launching our final city tomorrow 👀 You can still send in an old smartphone for free from anywhere in the country and get someone else connected! @o2uk will provide 12 months of data, minutes and texts 💟📱 Find out more in Link.in Bio . . . . #LittleGoodDeed #giveback #socialgood #DigitalInclusion 
As restrictions start to lift, we might be starting to think about what we're going to wear to BBQs and pub gardens 😊 And since it's been over a year, our styles, bodies and sizes might have changed - probably meaning a new wardrobe please! 🤑 ⠀ But we don't have to spend and buy loads to feel comfortable and confident post-lockdown. Check out these tips to re-jig your post lockdown wardrobe and shop slowly, secondhand and sustainably, as well as the best ways to pass on clothes you might no longer want. Tag a friend to let them know you'll be asking them to clothes swap soon! ⠀ ⠀ #JoinTheHubbub #TipsForChange #SpringIntoAction ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #slowfashion #sustainablefashion #lockdown #ootd #fashiontips

Meet Cassius 👋🏾 🐉 Cassius is a bright 18 year old from Cardiff. He was living in a salvation army hostel due to a family breakdown. ⠀ ⠀ He moved into a flat in an area of Cardiff he was unfamiliar with, and without a phone or a device to contact his family this made him feel isolated and lonely during lockdown. ⠀ ⠀ We got a donated and refurbished smartphone out to Cassius via his local community group. Cassius is delighted with his phone and said it would make his life so much easier to stay in touch with his family and friends. Now they’re only a phone call away, especially as he has moved to a new area. ⠀ ⠀ #CommunityCalling is distributing devices in South London, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol and South Wales. Send in an old smartphone for free from anywhere in the country and get someone else connected! We will data-wipe and sterilise it and @o2uk will provide 12 months of data, minutes and texts to the new owner of your rehomed phone 💟📱 Find out more in the link in bio⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #LittleGoodDeed #giveback #socialgood #Communityproject #ewaste #DigitalInclusion 
What are we up to?? 👀 Filming a new series of our podcast in a blanket fort! With #lockdown we weren’t able to get into the studio, but it turns out being surrounded by soft furnishing like cushions and blankets helps absorb the sound to make a better quality recording - so we could DIY it at home 😆 Here’s our host Sarah in hers - (she said it was hot, and surprisingly well structured) Our podcast will be launching soon... with a new theme, a new name and some exciting new stories! Can you guess what our new name could be? #JoinTheHubbub #Podcast 
What does April taste like? 🐰 All of these British fruit and veg are in season and perfect for harvesting right now, which means they’ll likely be tastier, cheaper, come with less food miles and less packaging! What's not to like? 😋 #JoinTheHubbub #SeasonalEating #LiveSavvy . . . . . #Spring #Local #Seasonal #SeasonalVeg #EatSeasonal #SustainableLiving 
It's Easter… so why on earth are we posting about pumpkins? 🎃 Well, if you fancy growing your own pumpkin for Halloween, this is actually the perfect time of year to plant as they take about 5 months to grow. A lovely planting project for the #BankHoliday! And they're super easy to grow, all you need is a warm windowsill (or a green house if you have one), some fertile soil and plenty of water. 🌱Sow the seeds in pots by filling a 7cm pot with compost and place a seed 2.5cm deep, with the pointy end down (that's where the root comes from). 🌱Cover, label, water and place on the windowsill, they'll germinate very quickly - within 3-5 days - if they like it. 🌱When roots begin to show through the bottom of the pot transfer into a 12.5cm pot. 🌱Then once seedlings have established, usually after 2-3 weeks, plant outside spacing them 1 - 2m apart (depending on the variety, read on seed packet for specific instructions). 🌱Remember to acclimatise seedlings for a week or so by bringing them in at night-time. 🌱Keep them well watered and in a nice sunny position. Happy Easter, and gourd luck! #JoinTheHubbub #SpringIntoAction #GiveItAGrow #EatYourPumpkin . . . . #Spring #Growing #Sustainability #Easter 
Have you heard of the Million Pound Challenge? A year ago, we designed #PlanPlastic, a million pound grant fund with @waitrose and partners, using the 5ps they’d collected from the #plastic bag charge. ⠀ ⠀ The aim was to support diverse and innovative projects that were tackling plastic pollution and to leave a lasting legacy. ⠀ ⠀ So what happened? We selected 5 fantastic and unique projects, and now one year and one million pounds later, we’re celebrating everything they’ve achieved. ⠀ ⠀ Check out the 5 unique projects above, and they’re all tagged below if you want to find out more about them! We can’t wait to see what they do next.⠀ ⠀ @wen_uk ⠀ @yhaoffical⠀ @onion_collective⠀ @citytosea_⠀ @bluemarinefoundation⠀ @biohmhome⠀ @plymouthmarine on twitter ⠀ ⠀ #JoinTheHubbub #PlasticPollution #Recycling #OceanPlastic #Seaspiracy
