Every Action Counts

http://www.staffordbc.gov.uk/static/page5879.htm "Mr Miliband said (in 2006): 'Every community group big and small, rural and urban, can do something to make a difference. Every Action Counts will help unlock the potential of local groups and clubs across the country to encourage more people to join in and help to meet the big environmental challenges all of us face.'

Every Action Counts will help community groups, clubs and societies to take simple everyday action on the environment. These could include fitting energy-saving light bulbs in community meeting rooms, appointing an energy champion to monitor bills, car-sharing to club events and collecting paper or cans from group members to recycle together.

The initiative will offer direct support to these local community groups. More than 1,000 Every Action Counts Community Champions will provide advice and expertise, and new community action packs will be made available to help clubs and groups action simple but effective initiatives such as saving water in community buildings or creating wildlife havens on club grounds."
