      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New UN report highlights the scale of global climate change</p>

<p>Another article posted on Fediverse about the serious nature of climate change.  As individuals there seems only a certain amount we can do,  short of living off grid.   So the question I asked on Science Forums [2] is “how many more reports are needed?”</p>

<p><strong>In terms of recycling:</strong></p>

<p>There seems to be a lot of initiatives out there but some local authorities in the UK seem unable to recycle some materials,  I think the situation is improving.</p>

<p>There are some good ideas, such as turning face masks in to litter pickers [3] but this is in Cornwall, UK,  I have not heard anything about this idea being rolled out nationally,  but if it was, would that ideally need to be on a  local level so the collection —&gt; end product happens locally reducing the need for transporting materials and end products around?</p>
