This is my first posting but I wanted to highlight that there will be a Beacon Council for Tackling Climate Change National learning event on 23 September 2008.See IDeA website for details.
As one of only 6 councils to have been awarded Beacon Council status in this most competitve category, Eastleigh Borough Council will be hosting a series of activities and events throughout the next year where you can learn about our low carbon innovation.
You can also browse our website for lots of examples - such as our unique local carbon offsetting fund called CarbonFREE. This encourages local people to invest in the fund and meets the full cost of sustainable energy projects in our local community. We have also committed to Go Carbon Neutral by the 2012 Olympics for our key business activities.
If you want to be kept informed of our future Beacon Council related events and activities, email [email protected]. You can also visit our website www. eastleigh.gov.uk and follow various links under the Sustainability pages of Clean and Green.
