Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you will join us in the battle against climate change. Why? Because the fact is that global warming is happening now and will have an impact on us all. Really. Honest.
“The weight of evidence for climate change, and the link with greenhouse gas emissions, most notably carbon dioxide, is in my view now unarguable. This is a global problem requiring a global solution, but we can all make a difference. If we reduce the amount of energy we use and make our energy consumption more efficient, we will reduce the impact that we, as individuals, have on the environment.”
Sir David King, Ex Chief Scientific Adviser to the Government
Climate change is already damaging ecosystems and endangering the livelihood of millions of people. It affects the whole planet and threatens every person living - in every country, on every continent. It is is unlike anything we have seen in the past.
Fortunately we can do something about it.
It is people like us who are accelerating climate change by polluting the atmosphere with too much carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases. If we accelerated it we can also slow it down – the necessary technologies already exist. Tackling climate change will be one of the most important things this generation does and everyone needs to get involved. Shropshire is a beautiful county and we have a duty to protect this now for the benefit of future generations.
Every day more and more people are doing things to help reduce carbon emissions and tackle other environmental problems. And they are saving money by doing it!
We've formed Stretton Climate Care to encourage our local community to reduce its carbon footprint to as low a level as possible, as soon as we can.
SAVE ENERGY AND SAVE MONEY
We run carbon footprint classes every Monday afternoon at Church Stretton library from 2:00pm - 3:30pm - although they are free we do not discourage donations. Starting on Tuesday 1st April we can also offer evening classes from 7:00pm - 8:30pm at Mayfair and this will be continued on the first Tuesday of the following months.
We can now offer home visits so the exercise can be undertaken in the comfort of your own home - it is also FREE.
Using a computer programme, together we can identify your carbon footprint. The footprint will show the CO2 tonnage your lifestyle generates, but more importantly, what can be done to reduce it and SAVE MONEY.
No computer skills are necessary, as our volunteers will be on hand to assist and talk through your energy report. You will be given a copy of the report to take away which will enable you to implement the recommended saving strategies.
All classes and home visits are arranged by appointment - for further information please phone

We welcome new members and volunteers and would be pleased to hear from you. Click on the link on this page to join us
