I would like to thank CityClean for collecting refuse and for a great recycling collection. My neighbours and I are trying to recycle all we can.

Thanks also to the Woodland Trust and Tesco in Church Road, Hove, for their Christmas card-recycling service.

Thanks to the sustainability team for supporting the "eco schools" in Brighton and Hove.

Global Perspective, which helps children understand how families live in other countries, encouraged Patcham House special needs school, where I work, to support the Oxfam Unwrapped Xmas Presents Appeal.

Staff and pupils raised more £200, which allowed people in developing countries to buy a donkey, two goats, 200 school meals and to allow ten pupils to start school.
