Green Ilminster
Green Ilminster is all about making our local community more resilient and looking after not only our natural world but each other – our friends and families – as we start feeling the impact of climate change. We want to reduce our impact on the planet and create a more sustainable environment and economy. We believe the key will be in thinking globally but acting locally, engaging with and involving the Ilminster community in issues such as:
- Our local environment
- Community Resilience
- Fostering community & wider relationships
- Sustainability
- TTTackling CamTaa
