7 March - Cultivation Street Week; window box growing

11 March - Compost Awareness Week; benefits of composting

17 March - Food Waste Action Week; buying loose fruit and veg

20 March - Food Waste Action Week; sharing food through community fridges, pantries and larders

The purpose of this information is to help our residents learn about the small practical actions they can take to start reducing their impact on the environment, as well as reducing their food bills, in the hopes of addressing climate change. We also want to highlight community initiatives, so that people can work together in this goal. This work also links into the Parish and Neighbourhood Climate Action Network, a working group to which many of you send representatives, that is working towards climate action at a Parish and Neighbourhood level.
