Friends of the Earth Scotland has launched a new and exciting waste prevention project. Communities Reducing Excess Waste (CREW) is a 12-month national waste prevention programme designed to educate and motivate the public.

The project aims to:

• Recruit and empower community waste prevention champions, by training volunteers keen to promote waste prevention in their local communities.
• Train and provide the champions with the tools, ideas and knowledge to encourage and motivate householders to reduce their waste.
• Inform and motivate householders to reduce waste, including personal testimony from people communities directly affected by waste in Scotland.
