Sustainable Crediton Newsletter Issue 17
Welcome to the Sustainable Crediton
September Newsletter
This month we have more Sustainable Crediton events happening in
one month than EVER BEFORE!! It is exciting but also means
that if you are reading this and live in or near Crediton
WE NEED YOU. Come along and recycle your
food plastics at the Waste Action Group trial
days, shop at the Food Group Community Market, bring
your children and grandchildren to the WEN Teddy Bears
Picnic, eat for FREE whilst watching a
movie or maybe walk, cycle, skateboard and run with Crediton Legs It
organised by the Transport Group. This last event is part of
a massive global day of action to show politicians that
ordinary people care about the environment.
So now you have two alternatives. You can sit back and say how
wonderful it is that all this is happening but carry on with
your life as before, or you can get involved. What will it
be??? We hope you choose the latter because that is
how Sustainable Crediton grows. The world truly changes when
lots of people do a little.
Have a good month.
