A great big well done goes to Diana, from Oxshott Net Zero, for leading a sustainability presentation at this years Elmbridge Junior Citizenship event.
Students from all over the Borough came to Sandown to engage with six different topics related to health and safety.
Diana, supported by a small team, brought the joyful and sustainable message of Take the Jump to around a thousand Year 6 students in small groups over an eight day period.
Elmbridge Climate Change Citizens' Panel Advisory Group
In 2019, Elmbridge Borough Council declared a climate emergency and made the pledge to be a carbon neutral organisation by 2030. The Council also set an ambitious goal: to become a carbon neutral borough by 2050. There are climate change plans in place to support the vision of a thriving and sustainable Elmbridge, but the council need your input to help shape the plans for 2050.
Following a climate change survey which gathered your views on the climate change priorities for the borough, the council are hosting a Climate Change Citizens’ Panel. The panel will work on turning your suggestions and ideas into actionable steps.

The Chair of Green Elmbridge, Nick Davis, has been invited to sit on the panel. If you have any questions about this process or GE’s involvement, please email Nick at greenelmbridge@gmail.com
