On the 13th November 2023 Hambleden Parish Council agreed that we must play our part regarding Climate Change, and a new Working Party was formed. This consists of 2 Councillors, the Clerk and 2 members of the public. This working party will feed back to the Parish Council with suggestions.

Reduce Reuse Recycle
We would like to encourage residents to make changes in behaviours to be more carbon-neutral, some suggestions as to how you could make small changes that could help the environment are:
- Commit to recycling more
- Try to re-use rather than dispose of items
- Car sharing where possible
- Buy from environmentally friendly businesses
- Grow more of your food
