Priston Action Group for the Environment


WHAT's NEWJoin our mailing list HERE - Next Meeting: 10 September (Zero Waste Week) - Plastic Bags

What is  PAGE?
Our aspirations:
We all appreciate our lovely surroundings but are aware of our negative impact on the environment. We are keen to do what we can to reduce our impact and believe that we can make a difference by working together as a community to:
  •  reduce waste
  • save energy and other resources
Strength through numbers:  we do NOT want to be just a debating group; we want to make things happen.

Contact us:
via  Penny Rogers on tel: 01761 470589 or by email.
