Green Drinks February 2012
For February’s Greendrinks meeting we have Matt Whitfield from T&W coming to have a chat with us about waste food collection. This visit was arranged in response to a letter Newport 21 sent to T&W regarding the lack of waste food collection when they could be using the anaerobic digester at Harper Adams and alleviating the need to transport waste food from South Wales.
Wednesday 22nd, 8p.m. Royal Victoria Hotel, St. Mary’s Street, Newport. If we’re not in the bar we may be upstairs.

Sustainable Bridgnorth is a local group committed to promoting action which helps the Bridgnorth district become a sustainable low carbon community. It meets monthly with additional outings and visits from guest speakers. Our current activities include a local food survey, exploring opportunities for local hydro power and Crida Wind. The latter is a joint project with Sharenergy and if planning permission is obtained, will comprise two medium sized wind turbines to be owned by a community led Co-operative and located about 3 miles from Bridgnorth.
