In partnership with the Royal Borough Sustainability Programme and Learning for Sustainability (LfS), Sustainable Sunningdale is encouraging our community to take actions to lower our use of fossil fuels. We believe that every little action helps but acting together we can make a significant difference to stop climate chaos. What actions are you willing to commit to take? Tick at least 5 of the actions below and send us your email (or postal) address to Sunningdale.parish@rbwm.gov.uk so that we know the numbers who are supporting the campaign Commitment sheets will be distributed during September, starting at the launch of our renewable installations with the Mayor on 11th September and continuing at Carnival and during the Festival week. Our ambition is to have at least 500 people sign up to commit to the challenges and encourage others to participate. As alternatives to getting a commitment sheet from the Parish Council you can (a) print this page, fill in your name and contact details and hand it in to Anne Martin at the Parish Council; or (b) if you have a copy of Acrobat Reader on your PC (most people do as it is free software) then download the form, fill it in on the screen using Acrobat Reader, save the form to disk on your PC with a suitable name (e.g. mynameSUS'S_form.pdf) and finally email the Parish Council, attaching your saved form to it. Note that we do not necessarily need to know which 5 items you have signed up to. We will follow this up with other ideas and initiatives in conjunction with the Recycling Bank scheme of the Borough, and other community ideas to continue to improve our CO2 savings.

Update 22nd October 2009. Thank you for signing up to Sustainable Sunningdale. 400 people have signed up so far which is terrific. If we all do the things we have promised we would save 158 metric tonnes of CO2 in a year. This has been launched at an opportune time when the public are increasingly being made aware of the changes we all are going to have to make to protect the world from dangerous climate change. With all the publicity around the preparation for the international agreement to be reached in
Our individual actions all mount up and the collective impact of these actions could make a significant difference. Above all we are raising awareness of our need to be much more careful in our use of energy and water, and reversing the trend which shows year on year increases in use of both. If we are to leave any legacy for our children and grand-children it has to start with the amount of carbon we use today. Please encourage others in your organisation to feel they too can be part of changing our community towards a safer climate for the future. Share with us your ideas of changes that need to be made – whether reducing unnecessary lighting, encouraging cycling, and other ways we can improve our local environment. Send them in and we will see what consensus is emerging. SUSS Team |
