Has Covid-19 lock-down changed any of your values, opinions or behaviour towards your community and the local environment? Would you like to have your say on how our community moves forward from this crisis?
Well this is your chance to have your say.
We know that the current situation has severely curtailed both economic and social activity, causing deeply felt impacts across all of society but there have also been some positive impacts including reduced air pollution and an increased appreciation for nature. Recent national YouGov surveys regarding the COVID -19 crisis also found that only 9% of Britons want life to return to ‘normal’, 8 out of 10 people want the government to prioritise health and well-being over economic growth and 85% want to see at least some of the personal or social changes they have experienced continue after the Covid crisis.
But what does that mean for us in northern Devon? What could the ‘new normal’ look like here? How have our perspectives changed on how we live our lives through the lens of the pandemic ? We don’t know yet, but we want to find out.
Plastic Free North Devon has worked with local district councils and organisations across northern Devon on a regional public survey that intends to capture the public’s collective values and any behavioural changes they intend to make post the COVID-19 crisis. The survey includes broad and bold questions on a variety of topics that include plastic and waste, wildlife and biodiversity, health and wellbeing, transport, energy, local economy and consumerism. The results received will help local groups and government frame their priorities and better understand what is important to the people of northern Devon. How do we improve the quality of life for all residents alongside an improved and flourishing environment? It is important to note that the partners involved do not have the tools to transform our society over night and should not be expected to do so - the purpose of this survey is to visualise what a better northern Devon looks like for the individuals that reside here; a baseline of collective thought and evidence to help shape the place we live.

There are always health and financial benefits to quitting smoking, but quitting now will help you:
1. Reduce the likelihood of life-threatening complications from COVID-19. Smoking damages your lungs, and your heart, which can put you at greater risk of life-threatening complications if you get COVID-19.
2. Reduce your risk of other diseases caused by smoking such as cancer, diabetes, heart attack, emphysema, bronchitis and stroke. Quitting will improve your health, and help protect the NHS.
3. Stopping smoking allows your body to repair itself – after 8 hours oxygen levels return to normal, after 2 days, your lungs start clearing out smoking debris, after 3 days breathing becomes easier and within weeks, your heart attack risk begins to drop. Watch this film which explains all the benefits of quitting.
4. Protect the health of others. Exposure to secondhand smoke also increases the risk of complications from respiratory infections, especially in children. It also increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes and cancer. During this time, when we are spending most of our time at home, it’s important to protect others from tobacco smoke.
