Green Charter
Cheltenham Connect believes that the long-term stability and resilience of our local community depends upon its ability to adapt to the issues of climate change whilst exploiting the opportunities arising from declining energy supply. It also believes that these are far from being messages of doom and gloom and that there are many hidden treasures to be uncovered in the process. We have lost so much, in our desperate attempt to keep up with the consumer society, but we believe there is a whole new kind of wealth to be rediscovered through shared purpose and passion.

The Cheltenham Connect Green Charter commits all the activities of the association to:
1 minimize our use of energy (promoting and using renewable energy where possible, and exploring the possibilities of offsetting unavoidable carbon emissions caused by our activities)
2 evaluate the materials and resources that we use to ensure that they are sustainable, ethically sourced and as local as possible, and to minimize waste and pollution
3 communicate and model clear and well supported carbon reduction initiatives
4 promote the importance of thinking and buying local
5 promote lifestyles that emphasize quality of life and material sufficiency in a finite world
6 share information and knowledge to raise awareness and empower people to make their own responses
7 create a culture of inclusion by encouraging, valuing, respecting and making use of the skills and passions of all members of the community
8 work towards a carbon neutral future
