Five things I have learned about…recycling

Cathy Madavan shares what she has learned about budgeting and finding your value in more than just what you earn

Last year we moved to Bristol, a city known for its eco-credentials, hipster eateries and approximately a zillion electric scooters used for transport. And then there’s the recycling. It is quite a thing – we are provided with multiple recycling containers, where we can sort and recycle almost everything: food, glass, all kinds of plastic and even electricals. It’s impressive! This warms my heart, because, although none of us can solve the climate crisis singlehandedly, our choices do have consequences, and it seems to me that Christians should be at the forefront of caring for the planet so lovingly made by our Creator. I certainly know I can do more, but here are some ways I am at least trying to do better.
