COMMUNITY CLIMATE ACTION GROUP LEAFLET AND SURVEY
Do you want to save money & help the environment?
As a community we could achieve an enormous amount together. Whilst we can wait for government policies and industry standards to drive top-down change, the world needs a more immediate, “bottom-up” ground swell of action. We are in contact with North Yorkshire Council about how community groups can help drive change and will share more at our meeting on 24 February 2024. Ahead of that, we want to understand how the broader community feels about decarbonisation and give everyone an opportunity to voice their opinion / concerns / areas of need. To this end we have prepared a leaflet including a survey which has been distributed to everyone in the Harton Benefice. Please complete the survey by the end of November 2023. If you haven’t got a copy then you can download a pdf version HERE or a Word version HERE
Ideally we would like your responses electronically by sending to generalenquiries@sandhutton-claxtonvillagehall.org.uk
Deadline for survey completion is 30 November 2023.
