This February, join Transition Town Lewes for three live online events where Lewes people open up their houses and show what they've done to make their homes warmer, more energy-efficient and less reliant on fossil fuels. A great opportunity to ask questions, learn what does and doesn't work - and how the costs and savings stack up.

Plastic Free Worthing are holding an Open Meeting via Zoom on Sunday 28th February at 7pm. This is their first meeting for a while, so lots to discuss and get involved in!

Fairtrade Fortnight runs from 22nd Feb to 7th March. The Fairtrade Foundation need your help to put farmers’  voices at the heart of tackling the climate crisis and share the reality of their struggles.
