Farmers' markets, veg plots and apple days that keep food grown and sold close to home.
Waste & repair
Repair cafés and litter picks that keep things in use and out of landfill.

Community-owned renewables and practical advice on cutting energy use.
Community
Talks, reading groups and Green Drinks: a friendly way into local action.
