About Us

Welcome to Sustainable Woodstock

We aim to raise public 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 Woodstock trade association, Wake Up to Woodstock

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.  Click here to read the summary, but 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.
