Can you help us turn Meanwood into Greenwood?
We are an enthusiastic group of local people who want to help transform Meanwood into a green, sustainable, healthy place to live. It’s time we addressed our contribution to the climate crisis - and we need your help. Thinking Global: As part of the 2030 Vision for Meanwood, our BIG aim is for Meanwood to become an environmentally sustainable neighbourhood with people-friendly streets and clean air, low energy homes, and eco-friendly businesses, so that everyone can enjoy a healthy life.
Acting Local:
We believe everyone can help in SMALL ways to protect our beautiful planet (see tips for individuals below).
Equally, we believe Meanwood’s businesses and organizations have a key role to play, both making their own operations environmentally friendly, and enabling individuals to lead more sustainable lives. That’s why we’ve launched a Greenwood pledge for businesses, please see the pledge on the website.

Every month we are going to set the people of Meanwood a green challenge- for example:
Meat Free Monday, Walk-in Wednesday, Freeze-it Friday, Share-it Saturday and we’ll encourage you to tell us how you get on.
Greenwood business pledge
Organisations and businesses have a crucial role to play transforming Meanwood into Greenwood. Sign the pledge and we’ll send you a Greenwood Mark to display in your window, and you could even become Greenwood’s business of the month!
