The small changes that we make in our every day life can have a big effect on our environment.
There are a number of community and interest groups which have formed across South Gloucestershire because of their concern for their local environment.
These groups work on developing campaigns in their local area to increase community awareness of environmental issues and encourage local action on climate change.
If you would like to learn more about local action in your area please refer to the 'Fast Facts' section on the right hand side of this page. Here you will find details about the Environment Forum and reports of its previous meetings, along with editions of Networking News - the bi annual newsletter which covers local environment stories.
