Action on Climate Change

This guide aims to give examples of what Wealden is doing to limit climate change and to act in more sustainable ways, it also gives advice for individuals and homes on what you can do to make a difference. Most of the tips start with small easy things you can do, progressing to more involved steps. There is also a quick guide which provides a summary of the basics, but hopefully as you make small changes you will come back and want to find out more.
