Dear ,

It is of course an historic week over here in the UK. As Britain votes to remain or leave the EU this coming Thursday the 23rd June, we thought that it was appropriate to include an article on the Brexit threats and opportunities, in this month's Circular Ecology newsletter.

We also bring you an interesting guest post, asking the all too important question "what really happens to your waste plastic?", and finally an article with our top 5 tips for reducing the environmental impact of your work.

We hope you enjoy this newsletter and as always please feel free to get in touch.

Best wishes,

Craig Jones

What really happens to our waste plastic? Is it really recycled? Read more...

New Fracking Research Reveals Real Risks

New research from Duke University scientists has mapped 3,900 fracking spill sites in North Dakota, analysing both water and soil around these locations and finding significant, persistent pollution levels that could have serious implications for human and environmental health alike.

Researchers found high levels of ammonium, selenium, lead and other toxic contaminants as well as high salt levels and radium, a naturally occurring radioactive element. And the problem appears to be persistent, —pollutant levels regularly exceeded federal safety limits for safe drinking water or aquatic health. Read more...
