We reconstructed the old school building and transformed it into an operational regional educational eco-center that serves to educate, connect, and empower our community, and also assist and engage the communities in our region. A 20KW Photo-Voltaic clean energy production system installed on the rooftop and two 7.5KW inverter air conditioners make this place energy efficient and self-sustainable.

Our aim is to make being sustainable as easy as possible for families, through support, events and services. We currently run the Liverpool Cloth Nappy library, hiring out kits of nappies to prospective families, as well as offering advice and support. Our other projects include quarterly children and babies’ clothes swaps, a reusable party kit, and an eco-family playgroup, designed to support families of young children in their sustainability journeys.<\/p>\n","location":{"address":"","city":"","province":"","postal_codes":null,"lat":53.3663,"lng":-2.92368,"label":"L19 3QD Liverpool, England United Kingdom"},"contact":{"website":"https:\/\/www.liverpoolclothnappylibrary.com","twitter":"","facebook":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sustainablestartslpool\/","instagram":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sustainablestarts\/","youtube":"","additional_web_addresses":""},"last_updated":"2024-01-04 18:24:33","tags":["Transition Group","Community hub or activities","Building local networks"]},{"id":10652,"title":"Sustainable Nantwich","url":"https:\/\/transitiongroups.org\/group\/sustainable-nantwich\/","logo":"","hubs":"England & Wales","countries":"United Kingdom","description":" Sustainable Nantwich<\/strong> is a volunteer-led network based in Nantwich, Cheshire (United Kingdom) which aims to advance local action in response to the three main planetary crises that humanity currently faces: climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss.<\/p>\n Our story so far\u2026\nPlastic free Nantwich was launched in March 2019 by local residents Emilie Janman and Jeremy Herbert. After 6 months the group realised that we were working on lots of projects which had far reaching implications and did not just focus on plastic waste in Nantwich so together we launched Sustainable Nantwich<\/strong> in January 2020 of which Plastic Free Nantwich is one of the main subgroups. Bad timing with the pandemic\u2026 as we had just begun to engage many stakeholders in the community, but we started up our campaigning again at the beginning of 2021. During the pandemic we kept up communication with Nantwich Town Council and encouraged them to declare a climate emergency. Sadly, Emilie moved to Cornwall in August 2021 but we soldiered on and Sustainable Nantwich is now coordinated by a small group of volunteers (who are always on the lookout for more hands!).<\/p>\n Sustainable Nantwich<\/strong> does not work in isolation but works alongside Nantwich Town Council and many other community groups in the town.<\/p>\n Working closely with other organisations Sustainable Nantwich<\/strong> is involved in the following projects:<\/p>\n\nPlastic Free Nantwich\nRefill Nantwich\nNantwich Sunflower Challenge\nNantwich One Plan\nNantwich Town Council Climate Change Action Plan\nGrowing Health Community Garden\nNantwich Mill Community Energy Company\nSummer of Science Festival\n\n Sustainable Nantwich <\/strong>has grown to be a real force for good in our local community. We have received several awards recognising our achievements to advance local action on climate, pollution and nature:<\/p>\n\n Outstanding Organisation \u2013 Nantwich Mayor\u2019s Salt of the Earth Awards (2023)<\/strong>\n\nIn May 2023 we were awarded the outstanding organisation award from the Mayor of Nantwich, Councillor Peter Groves.

A big thank you to their community champion Nikki Harrison for nominating us!\n\n\nInspiring Individual awarded to Jeremy Herbert (co-founder) \u2013 Nantwich Mayor\u2019s Salt of the Earth Awards (2022)<\/strong>\n\nIn May 2022 one of our co-founders was honoured with the Inspiring Individual Award in the Salt of the Earth Awards presented by the Mayor of Nantwich, Councillor Stuart Bostock.
