The Village Environment
We live in a lovely place and look after it so well that the village regularly wins awards, but it is becoming increasingly important that we address environmental sustainability. This is because through our consumption of goods, our use of cars, heating, electrical appliances, agricultural technology and our production of waste, our impact on the environment is much bigger than ever before.
We can all do something about it as individuals, and we can do much more as a community. Areas of interest include:
- Energy consumption and global warming gas emissions
- Biodiversity: Designated Wildlife Site; Bluebell wood; Village verges
- Transport; Development of cycle routes; Car sharing; Public transport; Local Food
- Waste minimisation; Recycling; Composting; Litter and Mess; Packaging campaign
Our long-term objectives are:
- To raise the profile and understanding of environmental sustainability among residents and thereby…
- Reduce the village’s overall environmental footprint and…
- Improve our local environment and also address our more global environmental responsibilities.
