Climate change: Learn more
Climate change and sustainability are big topics that including many areas such as,
Building and heating our homes
How we generate power
How we travel
The food we eat and how it is produced
What we buy
How we dispose of waste
Our relationship with nature
and many other areas
Because there are so many different ways to reduce emissions, live sustainably and protect our planet we believe there is something for everyone to be involved with.
To help people understand more about how to protect our planet we have put together links to different websites that can provide information, tools and education that can help people make the right choices to reduce our emissions and protect our local area.
