If you can sum up your organisation's commitment to reducing its environmental impact in less than one paragraph, you're already halfway to formulating an effective environmental policy.

The most important things to bear in mind are:

Keep it brief, and to the point - one side of A4 is enough

Ditch the jargon and meaningless platitudes - if you're bored writing it, they're bored reading it

We have some examples to inspire you but don't be tempted to duplicate - your organisation is unique, your environmental impact is unique, and so too is your approach to reducing it.

First and foremost:

Identify your most significant impacts - from fuel use to waste disposal

Include emergency situations, such as spillages and power failures

Our handy checklist will ensure you have the whole picture, lending credibility to your policy and ensuring its thoroughness.

Keep in mind the importance of:

Staff engagement - everyone in your organisation should feel ownership of your environmental policy, so keep them posted and value their contributions and comments

Senior endorsement - responsibility goes all the way to the top, so get the bosses on board

Publicity - do yourself a favour by communicating your environmental credentials with your public. It's good for business, and will keep you on your toes

Our download documents will help you create an environmental policy worth shouting about!

It might seem a little risky to lend out a bunch of power tools to those who probably don't know how to use them. After all, tools can be dangerous, people can be idiots, and we live in an exceptionally litigious society. For some strange but very understandable reason, those concerns alone have been more than enough to effectively end many community tool libraries before they even start.

As the sharing economy continues to blossom, however, more communities are overcoming that inherent fear and establishing lending libraries to embrace the beautiful benefits of sharing with neighbors. Through Google groups, starter kits, and incubator workshops, new tool libraries now have the ability to overcome their inherent concerns by learning from the experiences of many who have come before them.

Though it seems like a relatively unique idea, around 40 community tool libraries already exist throughout the United States, from Philadelphia to Seattle and south to Oakland and New Orleans. Each has its own unique flavor but most operate roughly the same way by accepting tool donations from the community and then lending those tools out for free-or nearly free-to anyone capable of presenting an ID and signing a waiver. Through that basic setup, some tool libraries have been happily participating in the sharing economy for over 20 years.

While most tool libraries are more than willing to share whatever they've learned, a handful of libraries have recently led the charge towards making it increasingly easy for even the most cautious and underfunded communities to take up the challenge. Strangely enough, these libraries happen to be some of the youngest.

Michael Froehlich, for example, felt compelled to establish a National Tool Library Google Group a couple years ago, just after founding The West Philly Tool Library. By creating a space for common questions and answers, he hoped to not only provide greater access to lessons learned but also to manage the barrage of inquiries he was receiving.

"Almost immediately after opening our tool library, we were getting 3 to 5 requests per month for advice from others who also wanted to start tool libraries," says Froehlich. "So many people had helped us get started, we certainly weren't going to ignore their requests. But we wanted to figure out an easier, more efficient way for people interested in getting started to tap into the wealth of information from tool libraries across the country."

In like fashion, the founders of The West Seattle Tool Library, myself included, also felt compelled to share everything we were learning in the planning and management of our own tool library. Since the first day we starting planning the project, our hope was to develop The West Seattle Tool Library into an easily replicable model for any individuals and organizations interested in starting their own version.

"The biggest reward for me is being a part of the amazing community of tool libraries, as well as all the makers, fixers, artisans, and neighbor s who use them," says Gene Homicki, one of The West Seattle Tool Library's founders, "I wanted to encourage that community's growth by making sure that everyone who is interested in tool libraries has access to all the resources they needed."

With that in mind, The West Seattle Tool Library set about creating a tool library starter kit. Our hope was that this kit would effectively comfort the worrisome souls who were either intimidated by the numerous details of the planning process or quite appropriately concerned about safety, liability, and security. The result of those efforts recently became its very own project, Share Starter, which has now hosted a handful of tool library incubator sessions as well as developed a free starter kit.

While inquiries on starting a tool library come from far and wide, The West Seattle Tool Library and Share Starter also constantly receive a large number of requests from our own region. By hosting local Incubators, we've actually been able to address those inquiries and efficiently share our knowledge in small, personal sessions with anyone in driving distance.

"The incubators really inspired us to get started on our own tool library," says Susan Gregory of the newly-forming Northeast Seattle Tool Library, "We got good nuts and bolts information on how they organized their tool library, we were offered excellent support as we got up and running, and we were inspired by the success West Settle has had so far. Having a successful model to emulate has helped us to procure a space to use, has given us an example to reference when people are unsure of what we're attempting to do, and hopefully will help us attain funding for our project."

Partly as a result of the incubators, there are currently six other tool library projects underway just in Seattle alone and a handful more starting up throughout our region. The starter kit -including liability and membership forms, tool use policies, sample work plans, budgets, letters of support, and fiscal sponsor agreements-will hopefully allow all of these organizations to overcome the burdens and worries of moving their concepts on to the next stage.

Considering all the obvious benefits that tool libraries offer, from encouraging neighborhood development to serving as a great foundation for the sharing economy, it's rather a shame that there isn't one in every neighborhood. Through the efforts of a growing tool library community, though, that situation seems to be changing rapidly. With all the resources now out there to tap into, and all the established tool libraries calming the fears, it's quite possible that everyone will soon have a tool library just down the street. If that doesn't automatically happen where you live, perhaps all these resources will at least give you the confidence to start building one of your own...and then share what you learn.

The aim of Places for Everyone is to create safer, more attractive, healthier, and inclusive places which are enjoyed equitably by increasing and diversifying the number of trips made by walking, wheeling or cycling for everyday journeys.

The scheme is funded by the Scottish Government through Transport Scotland and is administered by Sustrans.

The aim of Places for Everyone is to create safer, more attractive, healthier, and inclusive places which are enjoyed equitably by increasing and diversifying the number of trips made by walking, wheeling or cycling for everyday journeys.

The scheme is funded by the Scottish Government through Transport Scotland and is administered by Sustrans.

Places for Everyone contributes to the Scottish Government's aim for a healthier, environmentally sustainable nation with a strong economy and communities, as laid out in the National Performance Framework.

Support

Applicants will receive direct access to our knowledge and experience, as well as benefit from our partnership approach that leads to better outcomes.

This way of working helps ensure that the projects we're involved with achieve the best possible outcomes for communities across Scotland.

We can provide support at any stage in a project's development, but encourage projects to express an interest in Places for Everyone as early as possible, so we can help guide you through the process.

Design Principles

In order to ensure all projects receiving funding make the largest possible impact, we have developed six design principles.

These are the minimum criteria for a successful Places for Everyone bid.

1. Develop ideas collaboratively and in partnership with communities.

2. Facilitate independent walking, cycling, and wheeling for everyone, including an unaccompanied 12-year old.

3. Design places that provide enjoyment, comfort and protection.

4. Ensure access for all and equality of opportunity in public space.

5. Ensure all proposals are developed in a way that is context-specific and evidence-led.

6. Reallocate road space, and restrict motor traffic permeability to prioritise people walking, cycling and wheeling over private motor vehicles.

All designs will be assessed against how well they achieve the design principles.

Additional Requirements

Infrastructure must be of a specification that will remain of high functional quality for at least 15 years and will accommodate both current and future needs.

All projects must be subject to Equality Impact Assessments and ecological appraisal.

Any predicted negative equalities or ecological impacts of the development must be mitigated and biodiversity enhancement should be delivered wherever possible.

Apply to Places for Everyone

We are pleased to announce that the Places for Everyone programme has now opened to new applications at Concept (Stage 0-2) as of 25th July 2022, with the deadline for submissions being 23 August 2022. The Decision Making Panel will be held on 31 October 2022 with the aim to make awards within four weeks of this date.

Our team are always working to ensure that our application process is as accessible, equitable and streamlined for applicants as possible. Please visit our dedicated partner website Places for Everyone page for further pre-application support and advice.

Assistance to new and existing partners on making a Concept (Stage 0-2) application can be found in our latest Application Guide.

Existing partners can also log into our online grant application portal to review previous applications or ongoing projects.

This is so exciting!!! on the 15th November our Crowdfunding goes live .
This means we have been selected to match funding.
The first mile stone is £1,000

We are wanting to offer our Educational workshops free, these will be to do with the project but also regarding homeless issues and recycling. We will also be taking our New Mascot Crispbin with us. The kids are going to love him. These workshops are for schools and organisations and will be free of charge once we raise the funds.
To start with this will be local to East Sussex and then depending on donations take us further afield traveling to different parts of the UK.

Back at the beginning of this project in 2019 Pen went on a Uk tour and held 11 demonstration workshops which was amazing.

We often get asked for workshops outside of CPP HQ.
Please check out our link for more information.

If your able to donate at all that would be absolutely Amazing!

We also have some lovely Rewards on offer when you donate so please do check them out too .

We thank you from all of the Team here at CPP Hastings HQ for continuing to support us

Climate Cafés® share an ethos of being community led, inclusive, welcoming spaces for people to simply come together with a cup of tea or coffee, to chat and act for our climate.

There is a fresh programme of gatherings for Climate Café® Coordinators to connect, share and support across the network.

What is a Climate Café®?

A Climate Café® is an open, inclusive space for people to get together to talk and act on climate change.

Climate Cafés® are informal, everyone is welcome to join the conversation and get involved. Climate Cafés create a space to bring people together from across communities, work places and campuses to focus on solutions. People find them inspiring and positive.

Starting up a Climate Café®?

Do get in touch.

Climate Cafés® and their Coordinators have been learning from each other for 8 years. The Hub can connect Climate Cafés® to share ideas, support and guidance. If you share an ethos of creating a safe space that is welcoming and inclusive for everyone to talk and act on climate, then sign up to become part of a wider family of Climate Cafés®.

At COP26 in Glasgow, Climate Café® was glad to work with the Climate Reality Project to host and inspire climate conversations and action. Climate Reality Leaders, trained by former US Vice President Al Gore, came together with those involved in Climate Café to create spaces to share climate stories and create connections to deliver bold climate action.

The Path2Glasgow initiative encouraged communities and workplaces to start their own Climate Cafés® - safe, pop up spaces where people can come together to talk and act on climate. To kickstart the conversation at a first gathering of a Climate Café®, Climate Reality Leaders can offer a presentation that helps to ensure that everyone involved can feel confident and up to date in their own knowledge of the latest climate science, impacts and solutions. If you would like to set up a Climate Café® in your own community or request a talk, get in touch!

Contact info@climate.cafe or click here for more information

All Climate Cafés® are responsible for providing a safe space to meet.

The wheel depicts more than 50 measures that can be used for the retrofitting or refurbishing of traditional buildings. It encourages exploration of the measures' advantages, concerns about their performance and possible interactions between them.

Each measure has a number of advantages and concerns (categorised into technical, heritage and energy). The concerns are colour coded and their summary is shown in the wheel 'rings' for technical, heritage and energy concerns.

To get started you can:

1. Choose your Building Context in the side-bar - some concerns depend on the building context.

2. Explore categories (e.g. Wall, Roof, Floor etc.) around the outer circumference by clicking on them.

3. Explore measures by clicking on them:

or by selecting from the side bar.

Open Up tabs (Advantages, Technical Concerns, Heritage, Concerns, Energy Concerns etc) to show detail.

4. You can add the measure to your selection list

and then continue exploring. Exploration can be methodical (around the wheel in order) or you can look at the links between measures.

When retrofitting traditional buildings a measure has interactions with other measures. These are depicted by coloured arrows whenever you view a measure - the thickness of the line represents the intensity of the interaction.￼The interactions of the measures you've added to￼your list are shown in light-grey as you move through the categories.

5. You can follow the links (coloured arrows) to related measures.

The reason for the link is given by its colour.

Related measures also appear on the side bar.

Going further you can:

6. Look deeper into the concerns - to explore the detail of the potential risk and find out about suggested actions to minimise risk.

7. Look at references to further research, guidance and case studies.

8. Select various measures - by adding them to your list.

9. Look at the summary report.

Print out the report that contains all the detail of the context and measures chosen, their advantages, concerns, and related measures, with details of suggested actions to minimise risk and references to follow up.

Offshore is an independent documentary that brings together varying perspectives on working in offshore oil and gas and renewable energy - and explores what the coming energy transition means for workers and communities around the UK North Sea.

The film looks at how communities and regions have been impacted by past industrial decline, the risks workers face in an increasingly precarious industry and how they can organise for the future.

The climate crisis means we must rethink our energy systems: where we get energy from, how it's produced and who benefits from it. Workforces and communities all over the UK will be impacted by the energy transition and have the potential to benefit from more publicly owned, local and renewable energy.

If you are an offshore worker or community member, especially in a high carbon area of the UK, who is interested in learning more about a worker-led just transition or imagining what a just transition could mean for your area, sign up for a film screening and workshop.

Are YOU #ShareRepairAware?
Supporting your local sharing and repairing projects is an amazing way to change the way you consume, make less waste, and support your local community - but what exactly IS sharing and repairing? Where are your local projects, and what does it mean to get involved??

Join Circular Communities Scotland's Share and Repair Network this week to learn more about sharing and repairing and see if YOU are #ShareRepairAware!

-

Do you want to live more sustainably? Change the way you consume? Fight climate change? Save money in the cost-of-living crisis?

Sharing and repairing are amazing ways to do all the above, as well as support charities and social enterprises that give back to your local community, but it can be confusing to know where to go, what to do, or how to get involved.

Our #ShareRepairAware campaign is here to help.

Okay I admit it, I'm not sure I'm #ShareRepairAware!
What exactly is SHARING and REPAIRING?

Sharing projects allow you to reduce your consumption by hosting a library of items which community members can borrow instead of buying new! Items available to borrow depend on the library, but can include books, toys, DIY and gardening tools, outdoor equipment, electronics, bikes, cleaning apparatus, kitchen utensils and recreational items. Phew!

Repair projects provide a supportive community space where you can bring a damaged or broken items to be repaired by skilled staff or volunteers. This can help you save waste by using repaired items instead of replacing them. Repair projects often repair for free, for voluntary donations, or have a no fix no fee scheme. You can bring whatever you need, including electronics, furniture, equipment, toys and devices to be fixed!

Learn more about SHARING and REPAIRING and the CIRCULAR ECONOMY.

Amazing! Where can I find my local sharing and repair projects?
That's easy. Take a look at our MEMBERS MAP.

The Share and Repair Network is a membership organisation, with over 60 sharing and repair projects across Scotland as our members.

We support and represent them, so they can focus on lending and repairing your items to help you save the planet (and your purse).

Are you impacted by the current cost of living crisis? Is your job or business in danger because of spiralling energy bills? And are 100 new licences for drilling in the North Sea the right answer to this?
We live in an oil machine and we are running out of time.
The film THE OIL MACHINE shows how much we depend on oil and gas, and why that needs to change.

Now, After THE OIL MACHINE, let's engage others in the discussion about how we transition away from an oil-based economy. Our campaign has already been making an impact, sparking the conversations and actions that are needed to create a more just and sustainable future. If you've just watched the film, or are curious to find out more, here are some ways to get involved.

Sparking discussions after watching the film

Every screening of THE OIL MACHINE can kick off a discussion in your community on how the North Sea plays a role in determining our future.

No matter if you're an oil worker or a climate activist, an investor or an educator, a scientist or a politician - we'd love to hear from you if you can be part of the discussion at one of our screenings.

What's been happening since filming THE OIL MACHINE

The issues raised in the film have become even more urgent with recent upheavals in energy security, the cost of living, and our climate. At the same time, the new UK government is rushing to put out 100 new licences for North Sea oil and gas exploration. One year on from the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, we've gone back to the film's contributors to ask them how recent global events have shaped the ongoing debate about oil.

What needs to come after the oil machine

We have to act now and make sweeping changes that move our societies away from dependence on fossil fuels. What will you do to help? What are your demands from those in power? We're asking the film's contributors to share their ideas to get you started.

Growing Flax this year with #flaxScotland

In Scotland we can avoid late frosts and favour a successful harvest by sowing in late May, early June.

Flax grows well in most soils: till the earth to offer a firm, fine seedbed but avoid over-fertilized soil or the plant grows too rangy.

Over the next 100 days, the flax plant grows around 100cm tall, each plant supporting its neighbour for tall, sturdy growth

Guarding against weeds in the first 4 weeks allows establishment of a hardy crop

The emblematic blue flower appears around day 60, unfolding each morning and dropping by dusk, for just 5-10 days

A shiny green seed head forms and gradually turns brown to signal the maturing plant.

Harvest in the autumn by pulling up the plant, root and all

Ponder how folk may have processed, spun and woven in former times

Back in 2021, Sowing and Celebrating Scotland's first Flax & Linen Festival

Following the restrictions of Covid 19 pandemic in 2020, we were thrilled with the response to our plans engaging the people of Fife in Scotland's first Flax and Linen Festival. We called on Flax Field partners throughout Fife to grow some flax through the summer of 2021 in time for to display and harvest at Festival venues and events in September.

During our Festival we hosted an international roundtable event called Think Global Grow Local, linking to partner initiatives throughout the world. The first session of this Roundtable explored growing flax now and has led to collaboration, with the aim of establishing a regenerative fibre network in Scotland.

Back in 2019, Flax Fields of Fife, a Contemporary Design Mapping Project

Using old charts, maps and records, we plotted Linen Journeys in Design through Fife, drawing on rich agricultural and industrial heritage and highlighting current design initiatives. The Kingdom of Fife offers Linen Stories unlike any other county in Scotland and we called for the help of locals to map these, old and new. Some were growing flax, experimenting with plant fibre, spinning yarn or weaving textiles, others had stories from working lives: more than 40 linen related factories were in operation just 2 generations ago.

We developed a simple route showing contemporary design initiatives in localities where there was evidence of linen-related activity, offering opportunities to visit makers and heritage sites and to purchase design items from studios and shops. We aim to continue developing a self-guided tour, seeking to support a thriving craft, maker and design sector in Fife.

Starting out in 2018, Y/Our Linen Stories for a packet of seeds

Eighty five per cent of the world's long fibre flax for linen is grown in a broad band across Northern Europe, from France through Belgium into Holland. Our own Linen Journeys in Design included research trips to these regions in 2017. Our Linen Stories tour of Scotland began in 2018, an important year for Linen in Europe thanks to CELC, the central agency for flax growers. With support from CELC UK, we supplied packets of Flax Seeds to attendees as we travelled Lothians, Borders, Fife and the Highlands. In exchange for linen stories, we offered packets of seeds, so starting some growers on their first flax adventures, whether in garden pots or backyard plots.

Raingardens are areas of plants and vegetation designed to absorb water and reduce the likelihood or severity of flooding and help to protect our rivers and waterways. They capture rainwater which runs off hard surfaces and then slowly release it back into our drains.

The 10,000 Raingardens for Scotland campaign is designed to promote and encourage the use of raingardens as a sustainable and natural way to manage water, particularly in urban areas. It will also support the creation of wildlife friendly, accessible greenspace, reduce pollution, and provide attractive places for people to visit.

Our work to increase the number of raingardens will:

Offer a way to create attractive, sustainable places, which deliver on the Scottish Government's qualities of successful places

Help deal with many issues gardens in new developments can face such as poor drainage

Present them as an opportunity for show garden developments

Promote the fact that they are a cost effective and practical environmental regeneration project

If you are a developer, installing small scale green infrastructure features in each plot within a development will help give it the qualities of a successful place. It is also a way of demonstrating that account has been taken of the green infrastructure considerations highlighted in the Scottish Government's Green Infrastructure: Design and Placemaking guide when creating a master plan.

If you would like to develop bespoke raingardens for your community or development, please contact emilie.wadsworth@greenactiontrust.org .

8 BILLION ANGELS Featured in the Daily Mail

November 15, 2022

Does global population hitting 8 billion herald famine, mass migration, new plagues and water wars - or a new glorious era of human progress, asks Dominic Sandbrook for the Daily Mail.

Today, humanity's demand for resources vastly exceeds nature's ability to supply them. Food, water, climate and extinction emergencies are unfolding before our eyes. 8 Billion Angels tells the truth about the conflict between the size of our global population and the sustainability of our planet. It dispels the misperceptions that technology can save us, that reducing consumption is the answer, and that the blame lies solely in the developing world.

At its core, 8 Billion Angels derives its power from stories because audiences connect more deeply to experiences than data and facts. 8 Billion Angels weaves together the voices of people around the world as they confront the growing impact of overpopulation on their lives and the planet.

With passion, humility, and honesty, experts explain the indisputable connection between our environmental catastrophes, unsustainable population and increasing consumption. The consequences to humanity and the planet are laid bare if we do not quickly and dramatically alter our current population and consumption trajectories.

Ending Overshoot Starts Now!

Earth Overshoot was founded to build upon the key messages presented in 8 Billion Angels, a documentary feature film produced by Executive Director Terry Spahr about overpopulation as the upstream cause of our environmental emergencies.

The film represents the first phase of Earth Overshoot's multi-tiered approach to raising awareness and normalizing the discussion about the catastrophic impact our unsustainable population growth and consumption are having on our planet and the steps we can take collectively and individually to solve the problem.

Visit Earth Overshoot to find out ways how to help including contacting elected representatives, UN officials and your local media to demand action on sustainability.

DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER, & ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST MEET TERRY SPAHR ABOUT THE FILMMAKER DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

Together We Can Implement Change

8 Billion Angels is shown in community screenings so that the topic of population is surrounded with meaningful dialogue that leads to personal introspection and powerful change

After watching 8 Billion Angels, there is a valuable opportunity for individuals to make changes in their everyday lives that can help the world achieve sustainability. Our team of experts has compiled tools and resources to aid in guiding you.

Supporting and scaling up responsible investment in nature.

Environmental organisations, community groups, land owners and farmers will be eligible to apply for a share of £1.8 million funding to help grow their nature projects.

The Scottish Government and NatureScot, working in partnership with the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and with support from the Green Finance Institute, are launching a new programme of support to help scale up private investment in Scotland's natural capital.

Grants of up to £240,000 will be offered to organisations and partnerships to help develop a viable business case and financial model, to attract investment in projects that can restore and improve the natural environment, such as, but not limited to, woodland creation, marine enhancement and peatland restoration. Successful projects will also demonstrate the means to engage and share benefits with communities, contributing to a just transition.

The Facility for Investment Ready Nature in Scotland programme also aims to ensure that investment in, and use of, Scotland's natural capital creates benefits that are shared.

Minister for Environment and Land Reform Mairi McAllan said:

"The Scottish Government has already significantly increased public investment in nature restoration through, for example, our £65 million Nature Restoration Fund.

"But public investment can't do it alone. The finance gap for nature in Scotland for the next decade has been estimated to be £20 billion - that's why we are working to find ways to bridge this finance gap through leveraging responsible private finance.

"The Facility for Investment Ready Nature in Scotland programme will enable swifter, easier and scaled up development of nature-based investable projects across the country. It has the potential to grow natural capital markets that reach across rural, urban, terrestrial and marine settings, and to support a wide variety of natural assets and ecosystem services."

NatureScot's Director of Green Economy Robbie Kernahan said:

"Scotland's nature is in crisis: its unique habitats and ecosystems will only continue providing the benefits to our wellbeing if we act now to value it and invest in it. The new Facility for Investment Ready Nature in Scotland is a vital opportunity to stimulate that investment and will help us halt nature loss - we must grasp it with both hands."

Heritage Fund Director for Scotland Caroline Clark said:

"Thanks to money raised by National Lottery players, we are delighted to support this programme which will ensure more of Scotland's natural capital can be unlocked for the benefit of the environment and communities.

"FIRNS offers an exciting opportunity to explore ways of diversifying income for Scotland's nature sector and building skills, capacity and resilience for the communities and organisations who are caring for the future of our natural world in a time of immense change."
Background
NatureScot is offering grants of up to £120,000 through the Facility for Investment Ready Nature in Scotland (FIRNS). Applicants to FIRNS are also encouraged to apply for co-funding through project grants of up to £120,000 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Applications are encouraged from eNGOs, community groups, land owners, farmers and other private sector organisations, individually or in consortia. Projects will be expected to be developed in line with Scottish Government's interim principles for responsible private investment in natural capital.

Over the next two months, NatureScot, National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Green Finance institute will host a series of seminars and workshops to support applicants to understand the different stages of the investment-readiness project development pathway.

More information can be found on NatureScot's website: FIRNS - The Facility for Investment ready Nature in Scotland | NatureScot

Incredible beginnings

Once upon a time, about ten years ago, Pam and Mary met with a group of friends to dream and make a plan. In their northern market town they saw unloved places and wondered if they planted veg in them and encouraged people to take what they needed they could create a conversation that would enable people to think differently about the power and potential of their future. So spades in hand, they set to work. Growing spaces led to conversations that encouraged people to imagine that the power of these small actions could help people live happy, healthy and prosperous lives. Lives lived in connected communities, built out of the power of their own will, their own imagination and grown through the power of small actions.
Our story

2012

An Incredible network

The Incredible Edible Network was set up in 2012 in response to the huge popularity of the original group in Todmorden and the flood of enquiries from those who wanted to embrace it's aims.

Since then, the number of Incredible Edible groups in the UK has soared from 25 to more than 100, and the movement is hugely popular across the globe. Facebook fans are now in their thousands and conferences and workshops are held across the country. From compost to risk assessments, to working with local authorities the Incredible Edible Network is here to help.
About the Network

2017

People are inspired by the action of Incredible Edible and with so many growing and changing their landscape across the UK and worldwide it's easy to see why. There are no rules, just some values, stories and passion. And you don't need to sign up to a 'Statement of Principles'.

We would love you to join us on the journey. There are lots of people who have walked this journey before you, ready to share their learning and local networks meeting together to inspire and build each other up. We work in groups and with partners, with all who are willing.

Zero Carbon Britain

Rising to the Climate Emergency

'Zero Carbon Britain: Rising to the Climate Emergency' models a technically robust endpoint where we have achieved net zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Our work clearly demonstrates that we already have the tools and technology needed to efficiently power the UK with 100% renewable energy, to feed ourselves sustainably and play our part in leaving a safe and habitable climate for our children and future generations.
Zero Carbon Britain: Rising to the Climate Emergency explores how we can achieve what is necessary. Our updated scenario describes one possible future end point in which the UK has actually risen to the challenges of the 21st century.

Building on the groundwork laid by CAT's Zero Carbon Britain project over the last 12 years, we have incorporated the very latest developments in science and technology to update our detailed research. The report shows that we can create a Zero Carbon Britain using only proven technology.

This report provides a positive and technically feasible future scenario that aims to stimulate debate, foster all-party political commitment and catalyse action across all parts of society.

What you can do

Individually our actions have little effect. But by working together, by sharing ideas and skills, we can build a movement for change and overcome the barriers to effectively tackling the climate emergency.

Zero Carbon Britain and...

What might a Zero Carbon Britain be like, and how can we work together to make change happen? Read the first set of essays in a series of independent thought papers written in response to Zero Carbon Britain: Rising to the Climate Emergency.

Past research reports

From an exploration of food and land use to exploring the social, political and economic barriers to change and how they can be overcome, our Zero Carbon Britain reports explore how we can make the changes needed to address climate change.

Help raise awareness that there is a way out of the climate emergency.

The cost of living: Economy-boosting benefits of walking, wheeling and cycling

In the UK, we're facing the worst cost of living crisis in many years.

The UK Government is prioritising growth, but it must also provide better support to people, especially those on low incomes or at risk of poverty.
So we're calling on the UK Government to continue its multi-year investment in walking, wheeling and cycling.
This will help ensure our transport system is more sustainable and resilient for the longer term.
