Welcome to The Regenerators.
Care about the planet but still want to have fun?
There are simple ways that your hobbies can be kinder to the planet (without compromising too much on the fun bit!).
Having a hobby that brings you joy can make you feel good and be a chance to learn new skills. Whatever you like doing in your spare time, there are things you can try to make it have a more positive impact on the planet.
Check out ways to make your hobbies more sustainable
Be mindful of your rubbish
Whether you鈥檙e creating a scrapbook or attending a sports event, see if you can minimise how much you throw away and make sure you put your rubbish in the right bins. If while you鈥檙e out and about the bins are full or overflowing, or if there are no bins available, consider giving your litter a lift and taking it home.
Car share or public transport
If your hobbies require you to travel and you don鈥檛 have loads of stuff to carry, see if you can share the car journey with friends or take public transport to the venue.
Sharing a vehicle with others is more efficient, reduces your environmental impact, and can make the journey cheaper.
Bring your own food and drinks
Where possible, try bringing your own packed lunch or snacks in a reusable container as this can help to reduce packaging waste.
You can also bring a reusable water bottle to save you from buying bottled water.
Buy second-hand equipment
Most sport or arts and crafts equipment can be purchased second-hand. They are usually still in great conditions.
If you鈥檙e trying a new sport or hobby, buying second-hand would be a great way to try the tools or instruments without it costing the earth.
Got all the equipment you need? Look after them by cleaning them regularly and storing them safely to keep them last longer.
Experiment with waste
Need inspiration for your next art project? Have a look around the house to see if there are any unwanted items (like old glass jars or old t-shirts) that you can transform into something new or an art piece, or that you can use to organise your tools.
