Getting creative with vehicles
Local authorities are under pressure to increase recycling rates and reduce carbon emissions. Wales has set a recycling target of 70% by 2025 and there are calls for England to do the same. The UK Government has also announced its plan to set a climate change target into law to slash carbon emissions by 78% by 2035.
As a result, council communication teams have an important role to play in educating the public and promoting more sustainable ways of living and working, to create the necessary behaviour changes required to reach these targets. Budgetary restrictions and the pressure to reach more people for less spend is leading councils to look at additional and alternative ways to communicate key messages about reducing, reusing, and recycling.
