SH2030 Newsletter 1
Now that SH2030 is up and running, we have decided to send out a short newsletter to everyone who has signed up to hear from us. We are glad to have such a keen and active community in Henfield and feel SH2030 is already managing to make a difference. Thanks to all who have already been involved in any of our informal Action Group meetings.
Do come along to any of our Action Groups or Pubic Meetings if you want to join us more actively (details of the groups are below). Everyone is welcome, even if you have not been able come to meeting so far.
Many of you will already know that we are now a federal group of Henfield Community Partnership. This helps SH2030 connect with the wider community and will ensure our projects focus on benefitting the village, because increasing sustainability is also an aspiration of the Community Partnership. We also hope to link up with other local groups and to learn from national news, information and campaigns.
SH2030's Next Public Meeting - now at HENFIELD HAVEN- 20th November 7pm for 7.30 start
In response to feedback from local people, we have decided to prioritise reintroducing a plastics campaign in the village. The aim is to reduce single-use plastic, and to increase plastic recycling locally (for items that cannot go in our blue topped bins). There will be a speaker from Sussex Greener Living at our meeting. We will also will introduce the process of our community achieving official 'Plastic Free Henfield' status. This will take a year, but we are now 'on the map' to start that process. https://www.sas.org.uk/communities-near-me/

 New 'Carbon Reducing' Website
- uses 3x less fossil fuels!
The new Sustainable Henfield 2030 website is being launched this week... watch this space! It was made by our members and is hosted by a company who aim to be 300% Green! The carbon reduction is achieved by replacing 3 times the amount of energy consumed by the website in the form of windpower renewable energy credits. Hopefully our website will help to reduce the huge predicted increases in electricity demand being made by the growth of the internet.
The link at the bottom of this newsletter should open the new website. You might also like to try the links to Facebook, twitter, and Instagram where we post items of news or of shared interest.
