Sustainable Crediton Newsletter Issue 49

Welcome to the August Sustainable Crediton Newsletter. This August is a quiet month for our activities as our groups tend to have a well earned rest. However the August Community Market is taking place on Saturday 9th August in the Town Square from 10am to 1pm. The Waste Action Group is manning the Sustainable Crediton stall and will have displays on doorstep and plastics recycling. There will be a full programme of events in September and October. Please see the diary dates below for preliminary details.

We are pleased to announce a new affinity scheme with Ecotricity. Full details are provided below or just click on the Ecotricity advert in the newsletter or on the website. Sustainable Crediton will receive a cash payment from Ecotricity for every supporter who switches provided they remember to quote the affinity code SC1.

Finally for those of you who create posters, flyers or write letters on behalf of Sustainable Crediton, we have created for your convenience a set of templates and guidelines for their use.You can read the guidelines and download the templates from the website.
