Some of our Key Projects
An important part of managing our collective resources responsibly is the adage: Reduce, Reuse, Refill, Repair & Repurpose, Recycle.
The Buxton Library of Things provides affordable access to over 100 useful resources and things that you don’t need to own.
Plastic pollution is evident all around us, blighting our lanes, paths and hedgerows, ending up in waterways and contributing to climate change.
Energy is fundamental to our modern way of life. But energy – specifically fossil fuels – is the main driver of climate change.

At a meeting last week one of the key tasks agreed is to somehow ensure that those seeking election (or reelection) need to know that looking after the environment, responsible use of resources, and enabling the conditions for us all to thrive is an electoral issue. Misinformation, adversarial party politics, and an imbalanced economy are drowning out the real work that needs done to deliver systemic change to give nature the chance to regenerate and continue to support and nurture life for generations to come. Still working out how we do that, but staying quiet and doing nothing are no longer options for those concerned about climate and nature. The time for action is now. Whatever you do to help shift the conversation, thank you.

Come along to our next Buxton Clothes Swap plus Stitch Don't Ditch session on Thursday 25 June, 7-9pm in St Anne's Centre, Hardwick Square. Bring items of clean adult clothing that you no longer want, get a voucher for each and then shop the rails to spend your vouchers and go home with different clothes. It really is that simple. Want to shorten the new trousers you just swapped for? Or make a cloth bag to take them home in? Or just have fun with textiles. The Stitch Don't Ditch team will be there ready to get you stitching. Donations invited for refreshments and to help cover venue hire, but no fees. Much more fun than normal shopping.The list of things to do instead of shop are endless! What do you do when you get the urge to purchase? 🌿
