Wouldn't it be great to find a way of involving the whole
community in Crediton, ie businesses, churches, schools as well as
individuals, in a concerted effort to reduce our carbon
footprint and move towards a more sustainable
community. We have found a scheme which has been succesful in
doing this at universities throughout the UK, and which is now keen
to pilot it within a community town such as Crediton. Exeter
University students would help in running the scheme which would
focus on helping organisations in the town to become more
sustainable for instance by reducing their energy use and giving
them advice to make the practical changes needed.
We are exploring whether there would be support for this scheme
and identifying the funding needed but would appreciate support
from CCA members in setting up and running the scheme.
If you are interested and can help in any way, please
contact me.
