Download this FREE directory of eco-friendly ideas and initiatives for families and communities

Wiltshire Council have put together this brilliant directory filled with lots of ideas and suggestions as to how you can make your community greener and more sustainable and contribute to Wiltshire’s carbon-neutral ambitions. There are lots of fun ways children can get involved too.

We have all become increasingly aware of the key issues facing humanity: global warming, climate change, pollution and environmental degradation. It is a common misconception that there is nothing individuals can do to address these problems and that the solutions lie with governments and supranational organisations.

Instead of collectively shrugging our shoulders in defeat, we can begin acting on the MANY initiatives large and small that will make a difference: in villages; across Wiltshire and, cumulatively, globally. Locally they can make villages greener and possibly even nicer places to live in. Wiltshire has declared a climate emergency and set the goal of becoming a carbon-neutral County by 2030 – everyone can play their part to achieve that ambition.

Every little individual action helps and community eco-projects are interesting and fun, especially for young people who are rapidly becoming the key movers and shakers of eco-protection.

This Directory compiles lots of practical ideas which can be undertaken by families, community organisations and Parish Councils. The listings include online links, but we hope that this hard copy directory will also prove a helpful resource to residents, families, community groups, parish councils, schools and many others in the Southern Wiltshire Community Area
