The GreenLife Project is managed by the Footprint Trust, and under this umbrella heading falls Green People, Green Kids and Green Communities.

This project aims to reduce resource consumption and waste within the Isle of Wight LEADER+ area.

It will be achieved through three mutually supporting activities:

Green People: aimed at encouraging rural residents to use low / no cost water and energy-saving devices and practices and to adopt waste minimisation and recycling measures.

Green Kids: a programme to environmentally audit the 21 schools within the area and to encourage subsequent adoption of new practices.

Green Communities: programme of environmental audits of community buildings.

Many of you will know Ray because of lightbulbs!  That's because part of the Green People project is about telling people - and having them believe you - that things like energy saving lightbulbs really do save money.  The best way to do this is simply by giving them away, completely free of charge.  There is one available per household so next time you see us stood at the Spring Garden Show, Chale Show or one of the numerous other fetes, shows and fairs, don't ignore us, come along and get your lightbulb!  We also have free save-a-flush devices, you can have as many as you have toilets.

Ray works throughout community groups, including schools, Women's Institute, church groups and so on.  If you think your group could do with a little environmental 'guidance' (or perhaps even an audit - they are free) please get in touch.

GreenLife is funded through EU Leader+.
