How To Be Green

We can all play our part to help protect the environment.

The pages within this section of the website include information on what the council is doing and how you can get involved. There is information on why 'being green' is so important, useful Top Tips for saving resources, and links to other websites that can help you to be green.

Information is available on the following areas:

• Litter
• Energy
• Water
• Reducing your waste

There is lots of information available elsewhere on the Haringey website, so the following sections will also be helpful for residents who want to help protect the environment:

• Recycling
• Transport and travel
• Planning and home improvements.

Recycling

Recycling preserves raw materials, prevents waste from being unnecessarily buried in landfill or burnt in an incinerator, and is can also save energy and water.

Haringey Council provides a wide range of recycling services so that residents can play their part in preserving the environment.

Transport and travel

The way that we get around the borough has a big impact on the environment. More cars means more pollution, more carbon dioxide emissions, and more congestion. However, we can all make a difference by using public transport instead, or cycling or walking.

For more information:

• See our travel page, which includes details on cycling and walking routes
