We recognise climate change is one of the world’s biggest challenges and so we have adopted our Climate Emergency Action Plan 2022-2027 as a commitment to tackling this challenge.
Top tips for ensuring your street party is environmentally friendly:
- offer homemade cooked food, or buy local and seasonal produce to avoid food miles
- choose meat-free or plant-based snacks and foods
- avoid single-use plastics by asking everyone to bring their own plate, cutlery and cup
- create your own event decorations that may be reused
- share food leftovers and decorations to minimise waste
- promote healthy and sustainable messages during the party
- organise a swap-event for children’s toys, clothes or books to encourage people to reuse things and reduce consumption
