About us
Who we are
We focus on the practical actions people and organisations can take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and be more sustainable. We do this through community outreach, events, and our plan for a regional sustainability hub.
The hub (Eco Centre) will be a centre of excellence for the South West, but with national significance. It will provide the platform for:
- Engaging - informing and inspiring people about sustainable living, technology and products – for business and at home.
- Facilitating and nurturing cross-sector collaboration to help drive sustainable innovation.
- Enabling – promoting and supporting people to live and work sustainably by helping to develop local schemes - through community engagement and collective action.
Our current outreach programme, Climate Action Plans (CAP) is piloting an innovative approach to helping people reduce greenhouse emissions, live more sustainably and save money. As well as developing a new tool to help households, the programme also promotes collective action that communities can take to enable and support the move to sustainable living and working.
The Eco Centre is also seeking to launch an events programme to promote and enable the move to carbon neutrality, climate resilience and sustainable living and business. At the drawing board stage at present, the programme will seek to engage all sectors in the region – anything from local community events to regional exhibitions. As well as a focus on practical support and action, the programme will enable and support cross-sector collaboration.
