1. Shwopping and swishing Saving unwanted or last season’s
clothes from landfill by organising clothes swapping parties has been around
for a while but we’re seeing swishing or shwopping parties cropping up more
widely.
2. Food banks The sad state of the economy means that more people are in
need of assistance. Expect to see
more food banks across Europe.
3. Kitchen composting Not everyone has room for a compost bin or wormery outside
so indoor composting units are a way of dealing with compostable waste like
vegetable scraps, tea and coffee leftovers.
4. Vertical agriculture This is an exciting concept where
high-rise buildings in the heart of cities are used for growing food.
5.
Community
gardens A growing movement in the
States and Europe, community gardens are a way of bridging social divides in
the community, teaching kids where food comes from and encouraging the
consumption of local food. We wish
there was one on every corner!
