The third Project Freesheet Walkabout went ahead very smoothly last week as part of London Sustainability Week; once again proving that there are still a great number of commtitted individuals who want to see an end to free newspaper waste. Nearly 350kgs of free newspapers were collected in the alloted time period of 2 hours. Each PF volunteer was able to collect on average 140 free newspapers which means the average number of papers being collected has increased from the last Walkabout. Of the nearly 100 tonnes of free newspapers being distributed on a daily basis around London the vast majority are still going straight to landfill.  Papers were collected from the tube trains, overground trains, buses and the street. They were then displayed in Trafalgar Squarer before being taken to Ideal Waste for recycling. Please see here for more pictures of our day out.
