Take the Pledge (2022)

Across the world, the devastating effects of climate change are already impacting people's lives. People like you and me.

We all need to do our bit to help, whether it's driving less, recycling more or eating seasonally.

We want to invite you to join us to Take the Pledge.

What small changes could you make this year?

We've added some ideas to start you off. You can like or comment on these if there is something you'd like to do and add your own ideas too.

Small changes: Big difference.

Take the Pledge.

Paul Stevens4 years ago The Government has announced a new fund to support "Landscape Recovery" projects. It is hoped it will lead to "fundamental land use change" creating new woodlands, restoring peatlands, and other "intensive interventions". Local landowners should be encouraged to use some of their land for "rewilding" projects. At a smaller scale all residents with a garden could pledge to leave a part of their garden to grow wild. E.G. Leave old logs and leaves where they fall and let the weeds and grass grow as they wish. The best part of this idea is it requires very little effort ;-)

Hamze Bagheri4 years ago EnergyCO2+CH4 = 2 H2O + 2 C + Energy If we can make the above reaction happen, it releases energy as heat; because molecules in the right side of equation are in lower energy level.I think, this is possible that in a specific initial condition the reaction happens.Initial condition can be different pressure, temperature, electric field, magnetic field and under electromagnetic radiation.DiamondIt can be that the carbon in the reaction appear in form of diamond. Actually, one of the methods of producing diamond is by methane in low pressure. Our equation is similar to that. If we are lucky, the reaction can give diamond too.In the case we are successful, we have turned two air pollutant molecules into energy, diamond and water.

Mike Buckland4 years ago I have spoken to several people in my community over coffee. Everyone has come up with a plan to reduce single-use plastic in our businesses and for our resident. One business has already teamed up with Surfers Against Sewage to clean up the river and signed up to Final Straw. They are now engaging with other businesses in the village.A few individual residents are looking at further possibilities for Terracycle in addition to Sheeplands Far, working with Twyford Rethinks its Plastic.And I am focussing on making St Mary's Church Wargrave and am willing to tell our story to other local churches.We are encouraging people to shop at zero waste outlets such as the Refill Hub and would like to the Council encourage many more.
