Sustainable Blewbury
Due to climage change and peak oil, we must reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. We need to explore ways in which we as a village can adapt to a lower-carbon way of living, yet maintain a good quality of life.

Our activity is organised around five main themes:
The travel theme promotes public transport and encourages cycling and walking,
with more cycleways and footpaths, in order to reduce car dependency. |
The Blewbury Energy Initiative aims to reduce
energy consumption in buildings and to encourage the use of renewable energy resources. The aim is to use
much less coal, oil and gas to help the global environment. |
The food theme supports and promotes local food production and marketing in order
to reduce food miles, as well as encouraging fair trade. |
Natural environment and heritage The environment and heritage theme aims to raise awareness and promote protection
of Blewbury's special characteristics (springs and streams, trees, fabric) and history. |
 |
The waste and recycling theme aims to reduce waste and increase reuse and recycling.
It encourages local recycling, water saving, and household composting. |
