WHO ARE WE?
We are a group of local people working to create a sustainable community, a greener,
healthier, more connected place to live, much less dependent on resources and solutions from 'out there'. We hope you will join us on this journey.
Since February 2007 we have grown from three people to a core group of sixteen and a mailing list of over 150. We have held film screenings, a Green Family Day and successfully lobbied the council to adopt the Feniton to Sidmouth cycle path in its local plan.
What would you like Ottery St Mary to be like in 2020?
We began from the view that our current resource hungry life style is unsustainable and that fossil fuels which supply us cannot last forever. It is our hunger and over consumption of such fuel that has led to the global warming crisis which we now face.
We’re ordinary people who believe that by working together we can achieve amazing
things. Our vision is to get the whole community involved in building a better future.
For more information or to get involved contact us via the contact box on the left hand side or come along to the next steering group meeting or event.
