Our climate champions

West Yorkshire Mayor, Tracy Brabin, congratulating graduates from Todmorden’s Climate Challenge College

People and organisations from all walks of life are already stepping up to tackle climate change. Here are just some examples:

  • Suma Wholefoods launched its Sustainability Strategy in 2023. This set out the actions it will take to reduce its impact on the environment.
  • Halifax Community Fridge tackles food wastage and supports the community. It helps to get surplus food to those who need it. For more about this, please watch: Supporting the community and tackling food waste video.
  • After a dramatic flood hit 'The Blue Teapot', the café took steps to make the building more flood resilient.
  • Climate Challenge College has a range of courses that focus on sustainability to help people develop green skills.
  • Hour Car community car club offers an alternative to vehicle ownership. This helps residents cut down on their car use and save money.
  • The Cromwell Bottom site in Brighouse has been transformed in to a mix of woodland, wetlands and grasslands. This provides habitats for a range of wildlife.
