Groups, projects and campaigns

Sustainable Thornbury has several working groups and projects in progress. They meet as necessary, often about once a month, to plan and discuss. To join or contact a group please Contact Us.

Some of the current groups are:-

• Grow Your Own Food. A self-help group for gardeners. Also responsible for maintaining the community orchard in Gloucester Road Thornbury, opposite the Anchor pub.
• The waste group. This group has produced a local directory of recycling and waste, and is setting up a Thornbury Freegle internet group, similar to Freecycle;
• EcoFair. Repeating the show of sustainable ideas, workshops, goods and services first held in 2010 at the Chantry. This is planned for 19th May 2012.
• A project to work with local businesses, called  Building a New Local Economy.
• Involvement with schools. Working with primary and secondary schools in the area.
• A community sustainability project using farm land at Lodge Farm.

There are also one newly set up group looking at starting a possible future project:-

• A campaign for alternatives to bottled water;
