THE MORE MESS, Waste LESS project, run by Mull and Iona Environmentally Sensitive Solutions (MESS) and managed by Mull and Iona Community Trust, has been working hard over the last eight months to help people reduce, recycle and re-use more.
Highlights have included a workshop and a Christmas event at An Roth, making beautiful decorations out of old materials including tin cans; the MESS fashion show with fabulous upcycled dresses and, more recently, installing food waste composters with two local businesses and at the Bunessan Island Castaways shop.
These composters can take all cooked and raw foods and will reduce the amount of food waste going to landfill. Good news for the environment as well as for keen gardeners who will benefit from the compost produced.
