The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Group for Recycling in Argyll and Bute Trust Limited on being awarded funding of £49,999 from The National Lottery Community Fund’s Platinum Jubilee Fund for the Waste No More! - A Jubilee Legacy for Argyll and Bute project; understands that the funding will be used to bring young people and the older generation together to reduce waste in the local area and to share skills with each other that benefit the environment; further understands that older people will show young people how to bake, upcycle clothes and furniture whereas young people will bring their knowledge of veganism to the table, as well as the idea of getting friends together to share and swap unwanted clothes; understands that volunteers will run pop-events covering these themes to get the wider community involved; hopes that this will not only reduce pollution and waste going to landfill, but build friendships between generations that will last long after Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee; recognises the hard work of all those involved in the project, and wishes them every success for the future.
