Welcome to the Sustainable Trust
The Sustainable Trust was formed by and for a group of people including voluntary groups and small businesses working in association with each other to improve the understanding and implementation of sustainable practices. Building on the principles of Local Agenda 21, recommended at the first Earth Summit we think globally and act locally to conserve natural resources, and effect small changes to our environment.
The
Sustainable Trust was granted charitable status in spring 2002. Our
first project was a touring exhibition for schools, libraries,
conferences and green events, made possible by the Neighbourhood
Renewal Community Chest. We believe that in order to minimise the
environmental impact of our actions, we must be concerned with food
production, waste, transport, buildings, communities and health. All
these things have a bearing on our enjoyment and quality of life, and
an effect on those who will follow us here.
We manage 45 Hectares of historic
Estate woodland for the Dandelion Trust, helped by volunteers. We
plant where we can, and have had trees
planted in Sri Lanka
for us in recognition of our post tsunami work there. We have recently
acquired a 5 acre site at Carwynnen containing a ruined megalithic
monument.
