Our local government is taking steps in this direction, but to bring about meaningful, long lasting change, a people-powered approach is also necessary.
In doing so, we will build on our satisfaction from life, elevate thriving local livelihoods and nurture our enjoyment of and care for the environment. As restrictions lift, we are at a crossroads and are provided with a unique opportunity to capture those positive elements that people have cherished about a slower-paced, more connected, greener life-so called #CovidKeepers. In the face of this adversity though, people have come together to help their friends and neighbours, businesses are reinventing themselves, carbon dioxide emissions have plummeted and appreciation of nature from our daily walks is at an all-time high. We recognise that individuals are stretched to their physical and mental limit with lockdown life, businesses are suffering, and the pandemic is generating huge volumes of single-use rubbish. We are working with Imperial College London, the Beaminster Earth Alliance, Action for Conservation and other organisations around Dorset to help us solve Beaminster’s biggest problems. SustainAbleYou students are connecting with local residents, businesses and councils to find inspiring approaches where everyone is ABLE (including YOU) to take personal steps for a more fulfilling, greener and all-round SUSTAINABLE future.
