Tell
your success story Do
you or your group have a story to tell? What was your motivation for making a
change? How did you do it? What lessons did you learn?
The programme is
looking for case studies on sustainable living practices around the five EAC themes:
Save Energy, Travel Wisely, Save Our Resources, Shop Ethically and Care For Your
Area. They can involve several themes, or just concentrate on one, and if they
involve some sort of social diversity aspect, all the better. They can be about
individuals, groups, voluntary and community sector organisations, social enterprises,
etc.
The case studies will be written up and displayed on www.everyactioncounts.org.uk,
and some may be selected for further promotion in other EAC material, and possibly
for audio and/or video case studies later on.
Please contact Steven Wong,

Development Action Plan
The
Federation has produced a Sustainable Development Action Plan to show how we are
making progress towards improving our environmental performance. It also shows
ow we are contributing to sustainable development and the long-term goal of 'one
planet living'. Download our Action Plan here.
The Action Plan is also available as a blank template,
for you to adapt for your own use.
The
history of our involvement with Every Action Counts
Our current work with Every Action Counts builds on the first phase
of the project, which ran from September 2005 - March 2006, when
we gathered information about trainers and programmes, in order
to identify gaps in resources and courses in this area.
