Red Dot staging another Recycling
Week 5/6/2009
Following the success of the Recycling Week staged by Red
Dot in 2008 - the first recycling week held in Liverpool -
they will be holding another one from 10th August to 14th
August 2009.
There will be a number of changes of format from last year's
activities.
For example, there will be a one-day market at the News from
Nowhere Social Centre on Bold Street. People will be asked
to bring along unwanted items which other people can acquire
at the market and recycle. During the market artwork made
from recycled materials will be on sale.
There will also be a poetry evening event – it is planned
to stage it in the Bluecoat Art Centre garden - in which selected
poets from Liverpool will be commissioned to write and perform
poetry on the theme of recycling.
A public debate will be held, titled ‘Why does Liverpool
have such a poor track record in regard to recycling?’.
Among the many local authorities in England Liverpool lies
near the bottom of the table in regard to the use of recycling
methods used within the area. Representatives from national
and local organisations engaged in recycling will be asked
to be part of the panel to discuss various topics about recycling.
Other actvities will be announced prior to the commencement
of the week.
