Our recent Community Fridge Tour event offered a fantastic opportunity for attendees to learn more about how to get community fridge projects off the ground, and how to start tackling food waste in your area.
Following the success of last year's Sustainable South Hams Assembly, we're excited to announce that our first subject-specific Assembly will be taking place in March, focusing on Rivers.
Wednesday's SusSH Group Leaders' Meeting will offer all the usual chances for conversation and cake, but will also be a chance to meet our new compost mentor, Ben Bryant. Read Ben's introduction to community composting and his own work.
Bat conservation, hedgehog conservation, engaging with local landowners, home energy saving, exploring renewable energy generation
We have declared a climate & environmental emergency, we voted that we would consider the climate & environment in every decision and action, we have embedded that within our formal process and hire agreements, etc, we created an ongoing phased Habitat Plan to improve biodiversity on land we own or manage, and we are working on a wider Climate & Environment Plan.
Our aim is to take action to address the climate emergency and to deliver the Devon Carbon Plan by creating a Devon that runs entirely on green energy. We believe that, rather than buying power from outside the country, we can produce clean, locally owned energy here in Devon. This will significantly boost our local economy, retaining approximately £1.76 billion in our county and creating a local industry and jobs across the region.
