Our project is owned by and welcomes all residents and businesses of Willingdon. It is a non-political, non-confrontational grass roots project. We do not focus on the threats of climate change, more on the benefits of taking action and achieving more through collaboration and cooperation.
Our Aims:
- To reduce carbon emissions in Willingdon village
- To consume carefully and travel wisely
- To embrace efficiency and avoid waste (especially plastics.)
- To find and share ways to consume energy more efficiently
- To nurture nature
- To share experience of low carbon and low energy living more widely;
- To support the aims of Eastbourne Borough Council and Eastbourne Eco Action Network to achieve carbon neutrality in the Eastbourne area by 2030
