THREE RUGBY LEGENDS GIVE
WELSH FAMILY HOME ADVANTAGE DURING UNDER ARMOUR SERIES
Welsh families watching this autumn’s Under Armour series at home are being encouraged to take part in a competition which would see three former Welsh rugby internationals watch the game with them from the comfort of their own home. Principality Building Society is giving families across the country the chance to have Welsh rugby legends Gareth Thomas, Rupert Moon and Rachel Taylor head to their house to watch Wales v New Zealand on Saturday 25th November.
With over 170 caps between them, Gareth, Rupert
and Rachel will
provide expert commentary from the winning family’s front room, while sharing the tense moments of arguably Wales’ biggest clash of the Under Armour series. But for those who miss out on the winning prize, Principality will be sharing insight and analysis from Gareth, Rupert and Rachel in the home of the winning family from its social media channels during the game, for fans across Wales to stay involved in the action. To be in with a chance of three rugby legends watching the game from their home, Welsh families are being asked to head to Principality’s Facebook page and share a picture
of them celebrating a Wales game at home with their family and friends.
Julie-Ann Haines, Customer Director at Principality Building Society said: “We know not every family across Wales can be at the home of Welsh rugby, Principality Stadium, to watch Wales in the Under Armour series.
But every
time Wales play, front rooms across the country become mini- fan zones where family and friends come together to share memorable times together backing the boys. “As big supporters of Welsh rugby who are committed to communities across Wales, this money-can’t-buy prize is the perfect way for a Welsh family to get involved in the action on game day from the comfort of their own home. We’d urge all Wales fans to enter. You never know - you could be watching Wales take on the All Blacks in the company of some stars you’re more used to supporting on screen.” Head to https://www.facebook. com/principalitybuildingsociety/ to enter.

Students in Cardiff were treated to a cup of tea recently, in a bid to raise awareness of the estimated 6.3 million teabags put in the bin and potentially sent to landfill by students each year. The Recycle for Wales campaign
saw students
donning teapot, teabags, milk and spoon costumes in front of Cardiff University and around Cathays Park – revealing the staggering number of teabags evading the food waste recycling bin. While the tea-suited ensemble paraded the university grounds, the Recycle for Wales crew spoke to tea drinking students about how to recycle the many varieties of tea we now drink. Wales currently ranks third in
the world in recycling,
according to new independent research, despite the fact that 24% of 18-24 year olds and 32% of 25-34 year olds don’t recycle their food waste. In contrast, their older counterparts are leading the way with food recycling with 87% of 65s and over, stating they do recycle their food waste.
Additionally, a separate study of over 5,000 Rhondda Cynnon Taf residents carried out by Recycle for Wales revealed that students will need to rise to the challenge to meet the recycling standards of their counterparts not in education. Despite food recycling services being available,
only 28% of
students recycle their teabags compared to 67% of those not
Teabags and Teapots take over university
in education. The Welsh recycling campaign divulges that if all 95 tonnes of teabags binned by students in Wales each year were recycled, it could generate enough electricity to power a typical student house for over seven years. That’s enough to power a medical student’s home for the entirety of their degree. The recycled teabags could also play a huge part in student entertainment during their free time – in fact, if all the teabags destined for the bin and potentially ending up in landfill were recycled, it could power a DJ set
constantly
for over 15 months or a band playing in a small venue for 16 and a half months.
Angela Spiteri, Campaign Manager at Recycle for Wales, said: “Everyone loves a good cuppa, especially students on breaks from their lectures. There are over 128,000 students studying in Wales and it would be fantastic if they all recycled
their teabags after
enjoying their cuppa. That’s why we’re delighted to partner with students across Wales and Handlebar Barista, to help encourage students to put the unavoidable waste item in their food caddies.”
