Competition finalist to give his prizes to BALI, Bexhill Groups & the environment

Bexhill resident Michael Bernard is one of just 15 finalists selected by Nectar judges from 6000 entries to Nectar's Savvy Shopper Competition.

Michael's shopping tip: "I pay for all my shopping with my WWF (World Wildlife Fund) charity Visa card. It costs me nothing but WWF get 0.40p for every £100 I spend. Helping the environment wherever possible is the savviest thing we can do – for me, you, our children and every living thing on the planet."

The great news for Bexhill, BALI and Highwoods Preservation Society in particular, is that Michael has said:  "The competition winner gets £500 and a short Eurostar holiday in Paris. But if I win I will donate £500 to WWF and at least £400 (equivalent to the value of the holiday) to four Bexhill-on-Sea environmental and animal causes. I will give £100 to Barby Keel, to support the brilliant work they do to relieve the suffering of animals, £100 to BALI to help the fight against landfill at Ashdown Brickworks, which would be a disaster for Bexhill, £100 to Highwoods Preservation Society to support this wonderful local beauty spot and wildlife haven, and £100 to the fledgling Bexhill Environmental Group, which meets for the very first time on 7.00 p.m. on 4th August in the Community Meeting Room, Old Bank Chambers."

Michael says, "I don't want to gain anything at all in a personal way from winning the competition, I just want to use this competition to help Bexhill and the environment. Please go online to  https://savvy.nectar.com/  and vote for me."

So, thank you to Michael and please go online and vote for Michael today!

LGA: Eight Years Left of Landfill

The Local Government Association reports "Britain will run out of landfill space in less than eight years' time - unless recycling rates are boosted and the amount of rubbish dumped in the ground is reduced, council leaders have warned.

The warning comes as figures reveal that Britain still dumps more household waste into the ground than any other European Union (EU) country."
