Our meetings are open to anyone who lives or works in or around Henleaze with an interest in making Henleaze a more sustainable locality through community action.
The group has also campaigned to reduce free plastic carrier bag distribution by traders and to encourage shoppers to bring their own bags and refuse plastic bags.
In support of the campaign, Lloyds Greengrocers consulted its customers and following postive response now charges for plastic carrier bags whilst Henleaze Garden Shop has produced its own sturdy, affordable (£1) reuseable bag. Chandos Deli is also shunning plastic and offering recyclable alternatives.
It is expected that future activities will be based on informal working groups - groups set up so far are covering Energy, Waste, Transport and Food.
Our constitution, adopted by members living in and around Henleaze:1. To address the global issues of climate change and environment care in the local community of Henleaze.

We will do this in the local community by sharing concerns, learning and becoming better informed about issues, campaigning for change in society, encouraging and supporting one another in making changes in lifestyle.
3.We recognise that we will be working in a range of areas including domestic energy, transport, recycling, food miles reduction, education, research and the social and economic benefits of energy conservation.
