On behalf of and with support from Hampshire County Council Waste and Resource Management Team, a volunteer Community Champion is joining us to discuss waste prevention. We will explore the waste hierarchy and how, although it is beneficial, recycling is a form of waste management and comes below waste prevention in the hierarchy. There are more beneficial actions that can be taken such as reuse and repair. We will learn about how waste is managed in Hampshire and the materials that are currently recycled. We will also consider the importance of waste minimisation relating to food and textile waste, including tips to do this.

On land and close to the shore, the use of maps and charts created from landmarks, are used by humans when navigating from one place to another. Animals, birds and fish etc. have their own mysterious methods. 
 
At sea, out of sight of land, other methods have been developed including celestial navigation. Until the various electronic navigation methods took over this was the main way for navigators to cross the oceans of the world. Celestial navigation has gradually evolved and today, the modern Sextant plus an accurate time source is the usual method and is still in use.
