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.
