We are a start-up of concerned Oxshott residents who want to encourage the whole village to do what we can to reduce our carbon emissions. We know that climate breakdown can feel overwhelming and that it is hard to get started on reducing our individual footprints. Knowing that we are working on this together as a village and sharing ideas to get us going may be just what we all need. As a charity we are aiming to celebrate what has already been achieved by local groups and individuals and to spur each other on in our future efforts.
