Reduce Re-use Re-cycle!

This catchy slogan heralded a day of fun with serious message. In common with all local authorities Teignbridge is charged with reducing the amount of waste going into landfill sites by promoting and enabling every household to re-cycle as much as possible. There is already a concerted effort to reduce the number of plastic bags in shops and supermarkets but we still have to keep getting the message across. Earlier in my Blog I reported on the superb work of TRAIL and their Wearable Art Show. This Summer Fest was a day long feast of entertainment and fun for children and families. Puppet Shows, a band using instruments made from pipes, tins and barrels. Children dancing with the Jiving Lindy Hoppers, and the hilarious giant Scotsman, Rory with his hound Ochrie causing mayhem on the Prom with a few well-aimed squirts! Two giant seagulls pushed the message that it is not a good idea to feed them. If food is too easy to find, they will forget how to fish! Currently TRAIL has exhibitions of sculpture and art on display in Teignmouth, Dawlish and Shaldon.
