What's going on
We campaign on a broad range of environmental justice issues.
This year we have been involved with:-
* Policy submissions on the Local Development Framework.
* Schools work on organics and climate change.
* Promoting the Big Ask campaign.
* Further work on our organics site and research on wider organic issues.
* Updating and transferring our website which now has a domain name - see our link
* Researching carbon rationing and designing a community orientated framework to increase public understanding and involvement in carbon reduction measures.
The main work we are currently working on is:-
* A partnership with an FoE group in Africa, with initial focus on organics.
* Investigating, researching and informing community interests on issues around the long term waste contracts.
* We continue to monitor the situation with regard to Tesco, the Competition Commission report and the site at Tolworth, whilst looking to support small shops.
