A television show is seeking families in the Stockton area to take part in a programme aimed at tackling waste.

No Waste Like Home will focus on the wasteful behaviour of families and hopes to show viewers that real savings can be made within the home.

The producers are looking for families or householders to work with their expert, who could help them save money and improve the family's health by demonstrating how to live in an environmentally-friendly way.

Councillor Steve Nelson, Stockton Borough Council's cabinet member for the environment, said: "Along with our new recycling awareness campaign, this programme will be a great way to show people that by taking care of the environment they have great opportunities to take care of the bank balance, too."

To take part, call Sue Barker-Schneider on (01642) 527307 for details.
