We will be holding a short Annual General Meeting prior to the Repair and Reuse event. The main purpose of this is to elect new officers for 2020, when we hope to integrate better with the Transition Network to help Devizes move towards a low carbon future.

If you may be willing to take on any of the following roles then please get in touch.

• Chair
• Secretary
• Webmaster
• Press officer

The first of two events considering how we can reduce the amount of stuff that we buy. This event encourages us to get more use out of things that have already been produced, by demonstrating how items could be repaired or upcycled.

With around 18% of UK CO2 emissions coming from heating buildings there is much scope for reducing our carbon footprint by improving the performance of our homes. Such improvements have the additional benefits of reducing fuel bills and making homes more comfortable. In this event Robin Brookes of Environomic will guide us in learning how to make our homes more energy efficient. Participants will be encouraged to make a plan for improving the performance of their home.

Advance notice...

The Sustainable Devizes annual seed swap event will be held on 15th February 2020 in St Andrews Church Devizes.

We hope to also have a swap-shop and other stalls. If you are interested in having a stall there then please contact us.

The second of two events considering how we can reduce the amount of stuff that we buy, is timed to fit within Fairtrade Fortnight . This event encourages us to consider the impact of things we buy, not just from a carbon emissions point of view but also from an ethical perspective. This encompases both impact on the bioshpere and on the lives of the people who produce goods.
