Welcome to this group

Hello and welcome to Barnet's Use it Up Group! Use It Up is the art of using up everything and letting nothing go to waste. You can use this space to find out what your neighbours are up to and share your own stories about your 3 ‘Use It Up' pledges.

Whatever your pledge, whether you're eating the fridge and using up your leftovers, or swapping something you don't want for something you do, or re-inventing that old wine crate into a wendy house for your hamster, be proud and shout about it. Adding a story is easy, just use the ‘Add a Story' link in the orange panel on the right and post up what you've been doing. And if you fancy flexing your creative muscles, even better, feel free to add a photo or video.

As well as oodles of fame and glory, each time you post up a story about the ‘Use It Up' thing you've been doing that week, you'll get the chance to win some fab prizes in our weekly prize draw. Up for grabs next week are Itunes vouchers worth £25 - all you have to do to be in with a chance to win is write a few words and post it up by 19 June!

All members of this group will automatically go through to our Grand Prize Draw in July, with the awesome prize of a year's green energy. To enter all you have to do is make sure you've signed up and joined this group by 30 June.

And whilst you're browsing stories or the videos above for some cool inspiration, do feel free to leave comments, ask a question, or simply share your waste-reducing wisdom with the world - and invite your friends to do the same.

We'll be updating you regularly with news, views, hints and tips, as well as showcasing our favourite stories, and other fabulous creative content to inspire you with your pledges, so do keep checking back. And don't forget to keep adding your own stories for a chance to win some great prizes.

If you have any questions, or run into any problems, do try the help section or email me at monica_admin@dothegreenthing.com.
