What’s happening next week…

We hope you are aware that a meeting was held in December, addressed by Professor Tim O’Riorden, who as President of Norfolk Association of Local Councils is encouraging and supporting parish council that want to see action help reduce the impact of climate chaos.

An action group met in January.

Notes from the second ‘Climate meeting held on Tuesday 28th January 2020 at 7:30 pm at the Margaret Mack Hall in Rockland St Mary

The name of the group.  Briefly discussed and it was suggested that members come up with suggestions for next meeting. The meeting encourages other to join, it will have a rotating chair and be led by those planning activity and hear and track our progress.

• Research into what a carbon audit is and possible achievable methodology.
• Investigating local recycling and possible gains.
• Contacting local schools, and possibly involving the students in projects or at least ensuring the message is passed on.
• Possible compiling a list of local kerbside recyclables and a list of local recycling facilities.
• Setting up and maintaining a social media presence.
• Ensuring the group is represented at Local Parish Council meetings, and keeps a regular slot in the Eleven Says paper – perhaps the chair of each meeting could be responsible for preparing a paragraph or two for the edition after his/her meeting?
• Participation and promotion of local environmental events e.g. litter picking
• Preparing a list of local resources – farm shops, village stores/post offices, perhaps even regular kerbside sellers of plants, vegetables, eggs etc.
• Consider the preparation of a common educational resource for pop-up stalls at local fairs and events.

If you like to join us our next meeting is 7.30pm Monday 2nd March at the Margaret Mack Hall, School Lane, Rockland St Mary
