Wendy Goes Green to Help the Environment

Renfrewshire residents are being urged to go green in the fight against animal cruelty. Wendy Alexander MSP wants local people to support the Scottish SPCA by recycling.

The charity gets vital cash from the recycling of mobile phones, PDAs and printer cartridges. The money raised will help the Scottish SPCA to continue its campaign against animal cruelty while protecting the environment. In 2006, Scottish SPCA animal welfare centres offered refuge, cared for and found new homes for more than 12,000 injured, abused, neglected and orphaned pets, farm animals and wildlife. Public and business donations are necessary for the charity’s survival as it is not government funded. Locals who are interested in supporting the campaign can do so by mailing their old mobiles and printer cartridges in special freepost envelopes. These can be obtained by calling 08451 30 20 10 or by visiting www.recyclingappeal.com/sspca. Speaking about the recycling appeal, Ms Alexander said: “The Scottish SPCA does a fantastic job of campaigning against animal cruelty.

“I’m calling on people in Renfrewshire to support the charity by recycling their old mobile phones, printer cartridges and pdas. This will help the Scottish SPCA to continue its good work while benefiting the environment.”
