Powys Green Guide

Welcome to the Powys Green Guide

Welcome to your personal guide to living a more earth-friendly life!
Powys Action on the Climate Emergency (PACE) is an association of the community groups and organisations in Powys who are helping their communities make the transition to a low carbon future.

We think that you will be surprised at how many simple and cost-free steps you can take in your everyday life to be part of the change - and many people say that steps they have taken have improved their sense of wellbeing, reduced costs, or connected them with others in their locality. Some steps are easy, some are more appealing or affordable to some, whilst other steps are a better fit for others. It is a case of finding what works for you, your lifestyle, your family, and your pocket. Explore our pages and let us know what else you would like to see.

Online workshops PACE successfully concluded a series of 10 online workshops on Saturday mornings, thank you to everyone that came along to these, and especially thank you to all the people that contributed to the workshops.

We are now thinking about what PACE can most usefully do going forward and we would be glad to have your ideas. We have constructed an online form to enable you to feed back your views to PACE about these workshops and about what PACE could continue to do that would be most useful for your community.

This includes the question about whether we should try to organise a face to face event as was organised for last December and which got cancelled because of the weather.

There were about 90 people signed up to attend this, and we know many people prefer a face to face event rather than zoom so we are considering if we should do this, and if so when and where.

So please fill in this online form to feed back your views.

If you have used a carbon footprint calculator, you may already have some ideas about changes you can make, and maybe some you have made already. If you haven't, it's a good way to see which area of your life has the most impact - and maybe where you can make the most difference. Choose a calculator here.

How about joining a local action group or a local green event - they bring people together to make a difference in your area, and always appreciate new faces. Visit the Community Action and What's On pages - and get social!

How about some green-swapping? Our Sustainable Living Guide helps you to shop green and local where possible. It is filled with earth-friendly solutions for every part of your life.
