About Seeding Sustainable Communities
This project works to build community spirit and encourage more environmentally friendly behaviour in Peterborough. The project has just finished its second phase in the Dogsthorpe area.
Project staff visit residents to conduct a short community survey, before presenting them with a free sustainable living bag. This bag contains:
- information about environmental issues
- free environmental goods including:
- energy efficient light bulbs
- powerdown plug
- pens made from recycled car parts
- Ecover products
- save-a-flush Freddie
- reusable shopping bag
The survey is designed to identify current behavioural patterns, environmental interests, and community needs. Project staff then work with partner organisations to try and meet these needs.
The Seeding Sustainable Communities Project also arranges environmental events and activities within the communities, in response to the interests expressed by the residents.
The Seeding Sustainable Communities project has previously operated in Hampton and the Sugar Way Estate. While working in these two areas the three year pilot project achieved a target of 950 surveys. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the residents who have been involved.
