Notes On a Green Theme

Updated: Apr 13, 2023

It’s always important to keep ourselves hydrated and never more so than on these hot weather days.

Did you know that retail outlets such as Greggs, Harris and Hoole, Starbucks, Costa Coffee, Café Nero Nando’s to name but a few will allow you to refill your water bottles free of charge?

On another matter I am indebted to Stephen Tetley for asking the question, “Where can I take my unwanted mobile phone and laptop?”

Oxfam will take mobile phones and our local branch certainly will. All data will be wiped, the phone sold and the proceeds fed into the charity.

Computers4Charity is a registered UK technology charity that securely and safely refurbish your unwanted or surplus laptops, computers or old IT equipment and donate it to charity causes across the UK. www.computers4charity.org

I will research the other charities offering to take old devices and get back to you. Do you have any suggestions on this issue to share?

Keep your ideas coming to me on lizskiv@hotmail.com for publication at a future date.

I think this article could do with a green themed border and logo so if you have an idea what that might look like please send it to me, thank you.
