Horley Community Environment Week 20 – 25 Sept 2010
Introduction
Horley Town Council, in partnership with other authorities, is encouraging the local
community to take actions to lower its use of fossil fuels. We believe that every
small action helps and acting together we can make a significant difference to stop
climate chaos.
We are aiming to seek the co-operation of small and corporate businesses, local
residents and schools Examples of the initiatives we are promoting are:
- Reducing/eliminating plastic shopping bags during Environment Week.
- Improving residents’ recycling participation.
- Organising a “Friends of Horley” group of residents who will periodically participate
in environmental campaigns.
- Organising one or two litter-picking forays of “Grot Spots” during the week using
volunteers from youth/community groups and volunteer residents.
- Improving business and individual conservation of energy, water and other valuable
resources
We are going to raise everyone’s awareness of how lots of small contributions can
achieve so much more.
What commitment are you prepared to make? Please tick at least 5 of the actions
in the chart below and submit the form back to us so that we know the numbers who
are supporting the campaign
Our ambition is to have at least 500 people sign up to commit to the challenges
and encourage others to participate.
We will follow this up with other ideas in conjunction with the Recycling Bank scheme
of Reigate & Banstead Borough Council and other community initiatives, in the
hope that we will continue to improve our planet.
