This month we’ve gone green. The University of Gloucestershire has created a March challenge sheet so you can go green this month and become responsible for your own waste. The challenges consist of giving to charity, using re-usable cups, volunteering, and much more. You get points for each challenge you take part in and at the end of the month you can add up all your points.
It’s not too late to get involved with #GlosGoesGreen ♻️
Here are March’s challenges. The final month of achievable challenges for this year will be April (we’ll keep you updated)
Remember there’s a sports award & a Gnomie up for grabs! ?

Even though March is nearly up, it doesn’t mean you should stop being green! Plastic free Cheltenham is a community group, dedicated to cleaning up our streets and making our town responsible for our rubbish. April is just around the corner and Easter is creeping up on us. So how can you keep spring clean this month?
Its the first day March and the start of #minimisemarch ?♻️?
All you need to do is collect waste you produce throughout March and share your journey on social media by using the hashtag #minimisemarch and if you’re from Cheltenham please also hashtag #plasticfreecheltenham? pic.twitter.com/XrADrspK2X

One word that you may have heard a lot recently is re-use! Re-usable bags, water bottles, cups, it’s as simple as that. By starting with the smaller things you’ll soon get into a habit that will grow into a lifestyle.
Simple things like walking or riding your bike, or collecting rain water for your plants are steps everyone can take to a greener life style. Ultimately you save money and get those 30 minutes of exercise in a day, it’s a win, win situation. Repurposing glass jars, donating clothes and turning the lights off are everyday things that everyone can do. There’s no excuses this month it’s either go green or go home.
