SOLAS EIGE STARTS ITS CLIMATE AWARENESS PROGRAMME WITH A MARINE LITTER UPCYCLING WORKSHOP

As part of its new business plan, Solas Eige is committed to climate awareness raising. Its membership of the Highlands and Islands climate is key to this aspect of our work. To start on the right footing, Solas Eige SCIO is organising a workshop to repurpose ropes collected through the regular beach cleans carried out on the isle of Eigg. To date, it is still really difficult to recycle ropes and these have to be sent to landfill. To divest some of these ropes from landfill, Solas Eige SCIO has teemed up with Rebecca Johnstone of Shore to Floor in neighbouring Skye to conduct a workshop as part of the Highlands and Islands Climate Festival 2025: on Sunday 28 September, Rebecca will show the islanders how to use the collected ropes to make door mats. Very much looking forward to this!
