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.

Sustainable Blewbury events, past and future, are listed on our events page.

What's happening in the project, and other items of interest, are listed on our news page.

Events elsewhere (and much else) can be found on ClimateXchange, and Oxfordshire events on CAG Oxfordshire.

Our activity is organised around five main themes:

Travel and transport

The travel theme promotes public transport and encourages cycling and walking, with more cycleways and footpaths, in order to reduce car dependency.

Energy

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.

Food and farming

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.

Waste and recycling

The waste and recycling theme aims to reduce waste and increase reuse and recycling. It encourages local recycling, water saving, and household composting.
