Are you a Facebook user? If so, did you know that Sustainable Crediton is also now a group on Facebook. We want to expand our presence on Facebook, so please become a Facebook member of Sustainable Crediton and invite all your local Facebook friends to do so as well. We will use Facebook as another tool to get our messages across to as wide a range of people as possible, for example there is a discussion board where topics of interest can be discussed between members.

Mid Devon Community Recyling has awarded Sustainable Crediton the funds to buy a multi media projector which can be attached to a laptop to give colourful and interesting presentations to any group of people who would like to find out about the Transition Movement, the work of Sustainable Crediton, Climate Change and Peak Oil.

This is excellent news and will enable us to go out and talk to groups all over the area with the aim of inspiring them to become active within their own communities on projects that will help the transition to a low carbon lifestyle. 

If you know of a group that might be interested in a presentation then why not let us know? The material can be geared to reflect the needs and interests of the particular group involved.

Contact our chair Gerald Conyngham for more details or to suggest the names and contacts of groups that you think might be relevent.

We now have a bold bright new leaflet with our new branding. It explains Peak Oil and climate change in simple terms, what a Transition Town is all about plus the aims and achievements to date of Sustainable Crediton. Look out for it in the Green House, the Farmers Market and Library.

If you could find an appropriate place in your community where one could be placed on a notice board or a small supply could be left for people to take away please contact me and arrange to collect some.
