awareness among the residents of Woodstock and beyond on the issues of climate
change, energy conservation, waste reduction, recycling, bio-diversity,
sustainable economics and respect for the planet
We are working in
partnership with Oxfordshire County Council, West Oxfordshire District Council,
local schools and churches, Blenheim Palace and the Farmers Market and the

Are you wondering what to do with all
those old printer ink cartridges? Here's a charity that will collect
them for recycling and the proceeds will go to Helen and Douglas House in
Oxford.
There is a receptacle in the foyer of Woodstock Town Hall
where you can deposit ink and toner cartridges and old mobile phones (remove
the SIM card first for security)

Sustainable Woodstock Latest News and Events
"Six Degrees - Our Life on
a Hotter Planet"
Mark Lynas' seminal
book "Six Degrees - Our Life on a
Hotter Planet"
sets out, chapter by chapter,
the consequences of one degree of global warming, then two degrees, then three
and so on to the worst case scenario, six degrees. Sustainable Woodstock
has summarised each chapter from the survivable "one degree" to the devastation that
will occur with six degrees of warming.

better still read the book.

We acknowledge with thanks, the support and guidance of Oxfordshire's Community
Action Groups
(CAG) at
http://www.cagoxfordshire.org.uk/
The CAG project in
Oxfordshire began in Sept 2001 as a partnership project between The
Recycling Consortium (now Resource Futures) in Bristol and Oxfordshire County
Council. The project is supported by all District Councils in Oxfordshire and
was initially funded by Viridor Waste management through Trust for Oxfordshire's
Environment (TOE) and Oxfordshire County Council. Since the ToE funding
finished the project has been fully funded by Oxfordshire County Council.
The CAG project officers provide support and funding for community groups
holding events and initiatives that help to reduce the amount of resources
wasted in Oxfordshire.
