Map of local area

Help people support local and ethical business and initiatives by producing a map of the area.

ENCOURAGE BETTER TECHNOLOGY

Invest in and advocate for better technology and infrastructure to help others reduce their carbon emissions.

ENCOURAGE PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Make use of your community’s public transport links (and advocate for better if they are not sufficient!).

PRESERVING

Preserve food you have grown in your gardens by making jams, pickles, sauces and chutneys – a yummy way to reduce food waste!

Preserving food is also a fun, creative way of reusing glass jars and bottles and making gifts for your loved ones.

PLANT SWAP

A parish plant swap or sale is a great way to encourage people to grow their own food at home.

It enables members of the community to make the best use of their skills and space to grow their favorites and share with others. Knowing that Mrs Goggins has succeeded in creating hardy tomatoes, while you have got the beans off to a roaring start means you can both look forward to a varied harvest! A plant sale can also be a great way of raising funds for other projects.

VEGETABLE GARDEN

Could you turn a piece of parish grounds into an allotment?

This is a great way for the parish to get their hands dirty and marvel at the wonders of giant vegetables growing from tiny seeds. Even if you do not have much room, a couple of meters of raised bed can produce quite a bit of food.
