Food Share Locations
The Food Share scheme has been running since November 2018. It started off in Lamlash and Brodick and has now grown to run every night of the week in villages around the island. An incredible network of over 50 volunteers collect the food from the islands Co-op supermarkets and take it back to their villages to distribute within the community.
Check out when the Food Share is in your village in the schedule below.
Fuelling the expansion of AI are resource- intensive Hyperscale Data Centres. In Scotland alone there are proposals for 24 Data Centres to be brought online in the next five years. Combined they have an energy requirement equivalent to 1.5 x the entire country's current energy consumption. Scotland is only becoming sufficiently powered by renewable energy at present, bringing these data centres online would divert this energy from efforts to decarbonise the economy. Take action to call for tighter planning regulations to limit their impact!
