Island residents who want to make a positive difference and tackle climate change are invited to attend a free online information event in June to find out more about how a Lottery-funded campaign can support them. The Greening Campaign has been awarded National Lottery funding to provide a team of experts to help 20 communities across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight tackle climate change. Organisers have teamed up with Hampshire County Council, the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust and the sustainable gardening charity, Garden Organic, to bring a supported programme to local residents. These partners are working alongside the Greening Campaign and the communities, using their expertise to help residents come together and change behaviour in their community. To showcase the success of the projects The University of Southampton is monitoring and evaluating the work achieved. Terena Plowright, founder of the Greening Campaign, says:
“When we opened the programme, we were looking to work with 20 communities, and we have been amazed at the interest and take-up from right across the county. Communities have really come together and are already achieving quite remarkable things. We have been able to extend the number of places available so I would ask anyone interested in taking part to get in touch as soon as possible”
The online information event is being held on 11th June at 19:00. More information can be found at https://greening-campaign.org/events/greening-campaign-online-information-event-for-hampshire-and-iow-communities/.
More utter crap garbage climate con..
There is no climate change and what bit there is, isn’t down to us. it’s the yanks and the chineese that are the biggest offenders. This is the biggest government scam to rip us all off that ever excisted. There has been climate changes for the last 4billion years, that is how the planet is how it is now. Bloody brain washed greens talking shit about saving the planet,when some warped power mad psycho has got his finger on the button itching to press it at the first sign anyone pisses him off. It the greens had their way, we will all be eating bloody insects and walking everywhere
It’s all smoke and mirrors, it’s lies to push the green money cart!
Oh dear, more nonsense!
If you don’t like our wonderful planet and don’t want to save it, go live somewhere else you morons. I hear that Mercury is nice this time of year. Go top up your tan.
The only GREEN things about this Island are those ridiculous lights on Asda’s roof.
