We at 21st Century Thame want to see a greener, more sustainable town for us all to enjoy and to support future generations too.
Off the back of our successful, ‘Hedgehog Highways’ project (which already has 100+ Hedgehog Champions!) we have created ‘Thame Green Street Champions’.
This project aims to have a green champion on every street in Thame, where the champions will encourage and inspire their neighbours to do their bit for the environment.
We feel like this has the potential to have a huge impact in Thame!
We see it creating widespread behavioural change in Thame’s residents to support local sustainability and biodiversity.
Our plans for this project so far are:
🌿find enthusiastic residents on every street in Thame who are happy to share tips and ideas with their peers (we’ve already done this successfully with our Hedgehog Highways project which has 100+ Hedgehog Champions)
🌿 regularly update them via email (this may change to a WhatsApp Thread/Facebook Group depending on the preferences of the group) with ideas and resources to share with their neighbours
🌿co-ordinate events to foster a sense of community amongst the champions and also to increase their education and awareness on various green topics
🌿work with the champions to share seasonal campaigns related to sustainability and bio-diversity throughout the year e.g. tree planting, building bird houses, no mow may, growing your own food and other projects such as waste reduction and clean air initiatives.
This is a great project to support if you want to…
🌿support sustainability & bio-diversity in Thame
🌿be a part of a ground-breaking new project that’s tackling the issue of climate change using the power of networks
🌿earn one of our Crowdfunder rewards 🥰
We believe that the street champion approach is absolutely crucial to combat climate change as it's based on real human connection, relationships and peers influencing each other for the better.
We really hope you support us on this journey!
