That the Parliament congratulates the charity, Emmaus Glasgow, on recycling goods destined for landfill; understands that people with experience of homelessness are learning to create new products out of reclaimed wood to reduce landfill waste, in the wake of COP26; notes that residents at Emmaus Glasgow, who also work in the charity’s shops and social enterprises, are turning discarded objects into unique furniture and Christmas decorations, and acknowledges that the charity supports people to work their way out of homelessness, providing meaningful work, as well as a stable home for as long as they need it.
