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.

minimal impact on the environment. Future talks are being
held on on breakup of ice sheets (20 Oct) and on carbon capture technology (17 Nov).
- we
plan to organise more village talks on environmental themes eg.
insulation, nuclear energy - watch this space, as well as make a
contribution to the Priston Festival planned for 19-21 Sept 2008
- see a thought-provoking presentation "The Dangers of Plastic Bags"
