Greener Leith A-Z > Zero Waste > Zero Waste Podcasts

Over 2012 and 2013, Greener Leith produced a series of Podcasts looking at how we can go about cutting the waste we produce. Each one is about ten minutes long and often the audio is accompanied with photos, links and other resources to give more context.

We hope that they will inform and inspire folk from Leith and beyond. If you use them in the classroom, or find them useful please do contact us to let us know what you think of them.

You can find them all here: www.greenerleith.org/zerowaste

And here are the individual links: 

  1. The Journey of waste
  2. The Joy of poo and real nappies
  3. Charity shops and clothes swaps
  4. Cutting waste in the classroom
  5. Home composting
  6. Waste Action in action
  7. Worms in the house
  8. Kitchen Canny
  9. Smart shopping says no to plastic

 The podcasts were part funded by the City of Edinburgh Council Waste Action Grants, the Vegware Community Fund and Greener Leith. They were produced by Emily Dodd.
