Case Study – Derek

“I attended the ‘sauce and gravy’ demonstration and also the one with ‘pasta and rice salad and bruschetta’. If only I knew it was so easy to put together tasty meals from what I used to consider as waste!”

“After attending the gardening workshops at Dyce Park and the edible flower workshop it has reawakened my appetite to grow my own. I went and bought a seed propagation kit and hopefully, I will get to enjoy watching my favourite food – tomatoes – grow on my windowsill. Can’t wait to taste them. I was delighted to win a £20 voucher from the climate awareness questionnaire that I completed online.”

“It’s real, it’s happening and it’s man-made. I was pleasantly surprised that individual actions can account for 40% of emissions, so the situation doesn’t feel hopeless, it feels that my individual actions will actually count even though I’m just one individual. Before knowing this I would often think ‘what’s the point, I’m just one person. Small actions can make big difference. The more we educate people on the subject the better.”
