‘Climate Change’ is an emphatic truth: the signs are all around us. For us Rutlanders, the signs are not perhaps as dramatic as melting polar ice caps or vast tracts of land becoming uninhabitable as temperatures soar but nonetheless there are tell – tale signs: reduced insect population, fewer bats, swifts and hedgehogs in our villages and more ‘unusual’ weather patterns.

WASTE ADVICE

Real action, right now.

Waste is a major contributor to greenhouse gases. It takes land, water and labour to produce the goods and food that go to landfill – where they produce more emissions as they break down. Estimates suggest that we waste around £19 billion of food every year in the UK.

TAKE ACTION

BIODIVERSITY

Our global environment.

In the past 50 years, 60% of UK species have declined. See what we are doing about it in Rutland

Together we take action to redress the balance in our natural world whether by reducing our carbon footprint, improving biodiversity, applying high ethical standards to what we consume or by cutting down on our waste.  We do so for the immediate well–being of our communities and for those to come.
