About this group
We are currently working to oppose plans for a new biofuel power station in Newport which would burn palm oil from Asia.
There are also potential plans to site a huge new incinerator in Newport which would deal with waste from 5 local authority areas.
We have recently campaigned against (and won) plans for a new section of motorway around Newport (Gwent Levels road scheme).
What can I do?
There are many ways people can help and get involved. You can help by:
- Joining in with letter/email writing campaigns
- Taking part in demonstrations
- Staffing a group information stall at a fair or fete in the summer
- Monitoring the local press for environmental stories of interest to the group
- Running a website for the group
- Organising fundraising events
- Simply joining in with like minded people and having some fun!
