Welcome to our newsletter.
We hope to see you at our Seed Share event at the Boniface
Centre on 29th February: further details under Dates for your
Diary. If you would like to get involved, or start your own project
or campaign under the auspices of Sustainable Crediton, come and
talk to us at the Seed Share about what you would like to do.
CAG (Community Action Groups) Devon is holding a Skill Share
event at the Boniface Centre on 21st March. We are lucky to have
this on our doorstep. Take this chance to meet other like minded
people. Further details below.
Check our other diary dates too. Also newly listed this time
round is 'Life on the Verge', an interesting presentation on 9
March at the library.
If you fancy getting your hands dirty and want to plant some
trees, take a look at the North Tawton event on 28/29 March.
Nationally, there is potentially worrying
news contained in three new government bills relating to the environment, agriculture and fisheries. These will
replace and apparently water down environmental protection
standards currently set out in EU directives. For the first time in
years, we have a government which has an almost unfettered power to
act as it sees fit on these as well as other matters. So it is
really important that we make our views known to our MP, the local
media and in whatever other ways are available to us. Silence means
acquiescence, sadly.
Happy campaigning,
John Craythorne, Newsletter Editor, Sustainable Crediton.
