'Hello, my name is Great Uncle Bulgaria. As head of the Burrow, it is my pleasure to let you know that my fellow Wombles and I will be joining ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ in 2023 on your journey to ask the nation to be more sustainable.

2023 is a perfect time to inspire everyone to do more for the environment, from recycling to reusing and refurbishing old items rather than sending them to landfill and we feel that ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ are the perfect partner to help us along the way.'
