We aim to increase awareness of environmental issues amongst residents, Councils, businesses & other organizations from the Dartmouth Cluster of communities. We have launched a website forum, responded to the Dartmouth Neighbourhood Development Consultation, linked up with existing local sustainability groups and are developing publicity material for distribution to organizations, businesses & individuals. We meet fortnightly on Zoom, and new members are very welcome - email Sune to join.
We connect with like-minded individuals and organisations within the PL:21 area to collaborate on projects beneficial to the community, and our goals of addressing climate change, reducing fossil-fuel dependency, and increasing local economic robustness. Our key areas of interest are: Food; Energy; Transport; Community; Ecology and Economy. As the groups have evolved and expanded some have become separate while still working closely with PL:21.
