| Description |
The Greening Campaign was set up in response to the threat of global warming. It is an |
| innovative idea to help motivate people to reduce their energy consumption and therefore lower |
| their personal and community carbon footprint. |
| The campaign is the brain child of Terena Plowright, who is a resident of Petersfield and who |
| wanted to make a difference. |
| The campaign was so successful it was taken up by several other local communities. It is now |
| operating across the South East region, with enquires coming from across the country. |
| The Greening Campaign is fun, structured, and makes fighting climate change visible in your |
| The Greening Campaign joins individuals, groups, councils, schools and government together in |
| a joint programme that is simple and very effective. You cannot do this in isolation – walk the talk!! |
| Households are encouraged to take a branded information card, which gives them a list of ways |
| to save energy in the home and at work. |
| They then undertake to put into action a set number of these ideas and display the card in a front |
| window. The messages can be reinforced by film shows, public meetings and displays in shops, |
| next step of the campaign is to evaluate its success which is done by a combination of public |
| surveys and card counts. From this information the annual CO2 cut for the community can be |
| estimated and reported in the local paper. |
| The Greening Grayshott Team will be counting cards in Grayshott on the Bank Holiday weekend of |
| 2nd, 3rd and 4th May so please make sure your cards are up in time! |
