Gwyrddio Penarth Greening

Posted on December 21, 2011 by umbegonia

GPG is a lively, community-led, organisation which is helping local people adapt and prepare for a future with less oil and a changing climate. By involving people of all ages, experiences and backgrounds, GPG is developing practical projects which will help reduce dependency of fossil fuels and lead towards a more sustainable and resilient future for Penarth. Our projects include the Shop in Penarth local loyalty card scheme.

We may be have serious aims, but take a look at our projects and reports from our past events, to see that we also have fun. Getting involved could mean just coming along to the occasional meeting, or joining one of our project groups. Membership is free and open to all.

The debate was expertly chaired by Professor Ian Hargreaves of Cardiff University, an ex editor of the Independent and New Statesman. Continue reading →
