The Greening Campaign Phase Two
Phase 2 is an exciting new programme bringing 5 Pillars of support to your community. It follows on from the groundwork you prepared in Phase 1.
Using this solid foundation, we will begin to tackle the more serious issues below, known as the FIVE PILLARS – Space for Nature, Health & Wellbeing in light of Climate Change, Energy Efficient Warmer Homes, Waste Prevention and Cycle of the Seed.
Experts will support you with extensive knowledge in these subjects so all you need is enthusiasm and a desire to tackle the energy crisis and the Climate Crisis.
See below for more information on the 5 Pillars:
The Five Pillars
Whilst running Phase 1 there will be people emerging from the woodwork who have specific interests. We will help you to gather those people into a Pillar of their choice and motivate them to work with the Experts. We have a fun way of achieving this so everyone enjoys it.
Space for nature
Nature needs our help and so we will bring you Expert Support from the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust (or a relevant organization near to you). You will learn the skills to change spaces in your community and make a real difference for nature.
Energy Efficient Warmer Homes
The first thing we need to do is reduce our energy consumption, and the Greening Campaign has a programme to show how the energy leaves our homes increasing our bills as it leaves. We have partnered with the Sustainability Centre and the Environment Centre to bring you some easy solutions and information on grants available to reduce energy loss. Simple changes save money and save CO2 so this is an important Pillar that is well timed with the Energy Crisis.
Health & Wellbeing
A different climate is already bringing challenges to keeping ourselves active and well. The high temperatures earlier this year showed how our bodies can be affected by even a small rise. Mental Health is also affected by fears for our future. Anthea Cooke, a Health Professional, will support you to tackle awareness raising on keeping your community safe in changing times.
Cycle of the Seed
An inspiring new programme to encourage food growing in your community, open discussion around Food Security, and bring education around the issues connected to soil health. Lots of activities all presented in a new Information support pack to help residents in your community come together to learn new skills and support each other.
Waste Prevention
This new programme will encourage residents in your community to prevent waste. This is not about recycling waste or even reusing waste but how do we actually stop waste. The Hampshire County Council Waste Team are supporting the Greening Campaign to deliver this programme to 20 communities in Hampshire.
