Sustainable Crediton Newsletter 173, November 2025

Welcome to our November newsletter.  There's quite a bit to report this time round.  Do note that we have our lovely EcoCrafternoon this month on the 29th which could be the perfect opportunity to think about Christmas gifts, and the Arts Centre hosts a thought provoking film.  There are a couple of consultations that you may wish to get involved in and some venue changes to note.  We are no longer in the Sustainabubble as the Town Council have moved offices - instead meet us monthly at the Farmers Market.  The popular Friday food at the library has also relocated.  Cycle enthusiasts should note Gerald's update.

John Craythorne and Lesley Thomas, Joint Newsletter Editors

Carbon Lifeforms is Back!

We think you will like this brand of eco-comedy. Try this podcast available on BBC Sounds. Comedian Jon Long teams up with scientist Dr Tara Shine for a new hybrid comedy magazine show that emits all sorts as they aim to (carbon) capture all things climate. I particularly enjoyed the 22/10/25 epi ...

Local Energy Clubs: Energy Local

Here's an interesting article about local energy clubs. A group of residents gets together with a local green energy generator, e.g. a solar array or wind turbine, to buy electricity at advantageous rates at times when the generator is productive - i.e. in windy / sunny conditions. Residents buy p ...
