John,

Green Councillor, Andy Fewings, reminded us in a recent event on 'Participatory Democracy' that every time we spend a pound, we are taking a political action. Why? Because each pound we spend is a decision that impacts people and places in our communities and well beyond.

Over the coming months we will explore how most everything we do is in some way political. Our next event brings together people who are demonstrating through their work that the transformation of the economy so that it serves people equitably and the planet regeneratively, is possible.

Better IS Possible -- because better is already beginning to happen.

5 AUGUST, 2020 This coming week we have an exciting event gathering a Green Councillor, UK Fibreshed, Chelsea Green Publishing and Riverford Organic. Together they will discuss green business and its relation to community resilience.

RSVP TO THE EVENT

ENJOY A 'GREEN' BREW! Support our #GreenRecovery efforts by purchasing some Toast Ale. Each beer is brewed with surplus fresh bread, a great example of the circular economy in action! When you buy Toast Ale through our Green Living Room, they donate 10% of the purchase to GPEW.

OUR GREEN NEW DEAL for energy includes making sure that our main electricity sources by 2030 are renewables -- wind, sun and waves. Renewable energy is a clean, abundant source of energy that has positive rather than degenerative effects on the planet. Ecotricity uses the money from your energy bill to build new sources of renewable energy like windmills and sun mills. Ecotricity donates £50 to the Green Party for every switch.
