What can you do?

In taking action to address Climate Change and promote sustainable lifestyles in Woking, the Council seeks to support those who live, work or visit the Borough. We hope these web pages will provide you with ideas, inspiration and opportunities to contribute to a sustainable Woking.

Woking's Local Agenda 21 (LA21) initiative has succeeded in translating the community's aspirations for a more sustainable Woking into a range of practical and community-led initiatives. LA21 has delivered a range of successful projects, many with clear, tangible outcomes, and it has made a major contribution to the Council's Climate Change agenda, particularly with regard to engagement with the community. LA21 developed Greener Homes in 2005, as a guide to environmentally sound home improvements and renovations. Woking Green Pages was produced as a guide to local sustainable living. Gardening For Life uses surveys, newsletters, events and demonstrations to educate the community about sustainable gardening practices which will aid wildlife, and account for a changing climate.

Woking Borough Council recognises the important role that the local business community can play in both mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Business and the Environment describes partnerships with local service providers, experts and business networks in order to provide Woking's businesses with access to support and information to address climate change and sustainability issues.
