Thirteen TAGS volunteers have undertaken training to enable them to offer a new, FREE service in North Devon.  The volunteers, known as Community Champions, will meet with community groups to help them create an action plan of things they can do to be 'greener'.

What will this achieve? 

We all want to live happy, healthy and prosperous lives.  And we also want the best for our children, grandchildren and in to the future.  But for this to happen, we need to make the world greener, cleaner, farier and safer than it is today.  We need to live within our environmental means and move towards what the WWF has called 'one planet living'.

This may sound like an impossible challenge, but it's not. This service, which is part of the national Every Action Counts programme has been developed to help your group, club or society make a difference - one small action at a time.  These actions are mostly simple everyday things, but they will soon add up.

Why your group?

If all the members of your group, club or society take action together, you'll make a much bigger impact than an individual can.  You could be a surf club, scouts, gardeners, Round Table or any group at all. If all the members of all the groups in the UK decide to take action,  we'll certainly change the world!

Good for you, good for your community

Taking some of these simple actions will benefit your group, club or society by helping you to

* save money

* attract new members

* show the community that your group is proud to be taking part and making a difference

* demonstrate to new or existing funder that your group is addressing wider environmental and community issues

* improve your local area and help to save the environment at the same time!
