Sustainable Blewbury is a charity

We are deeply concerned about climate change and closely related environmental issues, especially biodiversity, as well as protecting our lovely and unique village and its surroundings.

 

We must end our dependence on fossil fuels because of the increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We need to explore ways in which we as a village can adapt to a low carbon and more sustainable way of living, while maintaining a good quality of life.

 

SB places the highest priority on raising awareness of climate change and communicating urgently how it affects all our lives.
