Reolutions Shortlist Summary
1. Let’s talk about incontinence
It is estimated that 14 million people in the UK of all ages are suffering from bladder problems and a further 6.5 million with bowel problems. However, it is still a subject that is misunderstood and very hard to talk about.
2. Bystanders can be lifesavers
There are over 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests a year in the UK, and less than one in ten people survive. Women have a lower chance of surviving than men. Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillating can more than double the chances of survival.
3. Join the repair revolution
There is a huge excess in clothing production which has devastating consequences for the environment.
4. Eliminate landfill of medication packaging
Medication packaging, due to its complexity, is not routinely recyclable through local authority collections, usually leading to disposal in landfills.
