Shropshire Climate Action: Buses Buses South Shropshire Climate Action (SSCA) sent Shropshire Council "15 Transport Asks" . These are the four relating to public transport. 1. Transform bus services to maximise the shift from car trips to buses 2. Fund the transformation of all buses so that they are zero carbon 3. Introduce a “one ticket” public transport policy covering all buses regardless of operator and all local rail (see for example, Transport for Cornwall ). 4. Design and fund a best practice Park and Ride service for Ludlow and Bridgnorth served by electric buses. SSCA received a response from Shropshire Council. Click here to read their answers Every village, every hour campaign CPRE's "Every v illage, every hour" report (2021) sets out what a comprehensive bus network for England would look like, with services to every village every hour, and the scale of investment required. It would provide a bus service fit for the climate emergency and address the inequality and social exclusion caused by the dominance of cars in rural life. Shropshire-based campaign group BeST: Better Shrewsbury Transport BeST (Better Shrewsbury Transport) comprises a group of organisatio ns and individuals keen to engage positively with the council to promote active and sustainable solutions to the town’s transport challen ges. It is campaigning for urgent action to promote active and sustainable modes of transport.

Shropshire Climate Action: Local lobbying Local lobbying Why lobby? Making climate-friendly personal choices is important. However , we know that behavioural changes by individuals and their local communities cannot reduce carbon emissions on the scale scientists tell us is crucial to avoid catastrophic climate change. National and Local Government and businesses must take action too . How to lobby Take a look at Market Drayton Climate Action's website and their dedicated Lobbying section for inspiration, suggested content and contacts on who to lobby by topic. Every month their members lobby those who can make changes at scale. This may be: companies extracting fossil fuels the banks and pension funds who invest in them and other organisations with large carbon footprints. You can also write directly to government leaders and potential leaders, nationally and regionally, holding them to account for climate promises broken and demanding the serious, strong actions we expect from them. Join the local lobbying network Climate and environment groups across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin are working together to share their lobbying efforts. If you would like to be added to the What’s App group set up for this purpose, please email contact@shropshireclimateaction.org to request this. This will require you to provide your mobile phone number. You can help the Climate and Nature (CAN) Bill by writing to your local MP. The Zero Hour (CAN) website helps people create letters: to our local MPs who are already supporters of the CAN Bill (Julia Buckley, Labour, Shrewsbury and Helen Morgan, Lib Dem, North Shropshire) and local MPs that have not yet agreed to support it (Mark Pritchard, Conservative, The Wrekin, Stuart Anderson, Conservative, South Shropshire, Shaun Davies, Labour, Telford). Groups that want to get more involved in the CAN campaign can use this pack of resources which has lots of ideas, including template press releases, downloadable materials and a pack of social media resources .

Shropshire Climate Action: Reuse and share Reuse & share The environmental impact of our consumer society is huge. A ccording to WRAP 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from clothing and footwear. UK consumers buy more clothes per person than any other E uropean country, and wear new garments just 7 times on average.* By 2030 global c lothing consumption is predicted to rise by 63%. The p oster designed by Ge neration Zero Carbon Shropshire shows some of the environmental impacts of fashion ranging from excessive artificial fertiliser, pesticide and water use. Discarded clothing is also significant. In the UK we discard 1 million tonnes of clothing every year: 300,000 tonnes of clothing is thrown in the bin of which 20% goes to landfill and 80% is incinerated Much of our used clothing is dumped in countries which lack the facilities to manage our waste such as Ghana Synthetic textiles e.g. nylon, polyester and acrylics, are made from plastics derived from fossil fuels. They are used in 60% of our garments and can take up to 200 years to decompose. (*Reference Daily Mail study) Actions you can take Don't throw things away. Consider i nstea d: Arrange a Swap and Share event - to share resources in your communi ty, exchanging unwanted items for something new! Use this Toolkit. Stop buying from fast fashion brands which produce clothes at high speeds and low costs to maximise profits. Instead educate yourself on sustainable brands and share this knowledge with others. Subscribe to Ethical Consumer magazine . Buy from charity shops or second hand stores Repair or fix items and, where you can, repurpose See some of the great ideas for reusing clothes from Generation Zero Carbon Shropshire Set up a Library of Things in your community. This video shows how Library of Things operate across London as part of a circular economy. Library of Things (LOTs) Library of Things are local membership schemes which lend out things for your home, projects and activities (e.g. DIY, gardening, cooking, cleaning, camping equipment etc.). The schemes allow people to hire items on short-term loan for a small fee. Did you know that the average drill is used for only 7 minutes in its lifetime? These schemes help to cut down on clutter, waste and carbon emissions and save you money. Check out the Library of Things in our region – the Share Shack is run by the Active Wellbeing Society in Birmingham. Local examples in our area Oswestry Climate Action Hub Oswestry Climate Action Hub (OsCAH) , is based in the heart of the town centre at 36 Bailey Street with a mission to: "Make, Share, Grow, Repair".

Shropshire Climate Action: Town & Parish Councils What can you do as a Town & Parish Council? Take action Parish and Town Councils are at the heart of our communities and can play a key role in cascading information to people about the climate crisis and how we can adjust our lives - through a change of diet, how we heat and light our buildings, how we travel, and what we buy so we reuse and recycle. Sign up to a Climate Fresk workshop Climate Fresk is a 3 hour facilitated workshop where you can get to grips with climate change in small groups in a safe, non-judgemental space, learn how to take action and enjoy some thought-provoking discussions. The workshops explore key drivers, mechanisms, and impacts of climate change, and map out where we are today and where we could be headed if we join forces. If you are a town or parish council and want to book a half day Climate Fresk workshop find out more via the BizEd Projects website or email climate@bizedprojects.com Use the Impact Community Carbon Calculator to assess your community's carbon footprint The Centre for Sustainable Energy has developed the online Impact Community Carbon Calculator tool. It calculates the total amount of greenhouse gases produced directly and indirectly as a result of everyday human activities (heating homes, using electricity, transport, producing and distributing food, disposing of waste, etc.) at the level of parishes, wards, district councils and unitary authorities. It helps communities target their resources to gain the greatest impact in reducing emissions. Use this toolkit to identify actions councils can take The Great Collaboration has designed a toolkit to help Town and Parish Councils identify the carbon reduction actions you have taken, want to take or are unable to take. The data is summarised into a Local Council Report that can be presented at a council meeting. The insights given in the report enable you to see what is happening in your local community and this valuable information can be used to inform your own Carbon Action Plan. Write a Town or Parish Council Climate Action Plan To help you: Use the Impact data to guide the priorities you set in your council’s climate action plan. Read some of the plans Shropshire Town and Parish Councils have already devised: o See Bishop Castle’s Climate and Nature Action Plan update 2024-25 o See Clun's Climate Action Plan update 2023 A simple proforma was developed for Wem Town Council’s climate action plan . A blank template for your Cli ma te Action Plan can be found here. Make your community buildings more energy efficient and save money The Centre for Sustainable Energy has a Community Action Plan guide on how to retrofit a community building Find local trusted contractors for your retrofit project via Marches Energy Agency's Future Ready Homes website .

Shropshire Climate Action: Green Your Money How to green your money so you don't fund the climate crisis One of the most important climate actions you can take is to make sure your hard-earned money (in your bank accounts, pensions, investments and insurance policies) is not unintentionally helping to fund fossil fuel production and extraction projects. Since the landmark Paris Climate Agreement in 2015, Brendan Montague estimates in ‘Banking on our Future ’ (Ecologist, 2022) that: the top 60 banks globally have injected $2.75 trillion in fossil fuels UK banks have contributed over $300 billion Insurers like Lloyd's of London, with $30 trillion in capital, are heavily involved. A key action you can take to reduce your personal carbon footprint is to move your money into ethical financial alternatives. This includes banks, pension and investment funds, and insurers who prioritise investments in renewables and carbon-neutral initiatives and do not fund fossil fuel projects and other harmful practices such as deforestation. This section will guide you through the green finance options that are available and give you the tools to use your financial power for the planet’s well-being! 1 Green Your Banking 2 Green your Pension 3 Green your insurance 1. Banking: How to ditch your fossil fuel supporting bank & switch to a greener alternative Banks, through their lending and investment decisions, significantly shape our planet’s future. Bank Green* states that since the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015, the Big Five UK high street banks (HSBC, Barclays, Santander, NatWest and Lloyds) have poured £311.3 billion into the fossil fuel sector, and £120 billion into companies at the forefront of oil and gas expansion (*Source: ShareAction’s 2022 Oil & Gas Expansion Report ) . So, what can you do to make sure you are not part of the problem? 1. Check your bank or building society’s ethical rating Use Bank Green’s search engine to see if your bank is using your money to fund climate chaos. See MotherTree’s Bank League Table which calculates the carbon emissions of major UK banks and reveals the top offenders. Use MotherTree’s Money Carbon Calculator for free to calculate your money's impact and get connected with greener banks. Look up Good with Money’s league tables for the: The worst banks for climate emissions Best ethical providers for current accounts Best ethical providers for savings accounts  Best ethical credit cards Best ethical providers for business current accounts Subscribe to Ethical Consumer magazine online to see the most up to date rankings of banks and buildings societies in the UK showing 31 current accounts, 50 savings accounts (including ISAs), and 30 small business accounts. As a rule of thumb Building Societies are almost always a greener option. Avoid banks such as Barclays and HSBC. Some credit unions also offer current accounts so you can help people and planet at the same time. 2. Move your money Use this FREE current account switch service to help you to make the change – it’s so simple! The switching service will: move your money, direct debits and standing orders across to the new account close your previous account transfer any payments meant to go into your old accounts, for example your salary All this takes just 7 working days to clean up your finances! Your action will make a difference! According to MotherTree , £12,500 held in a current account (the average UK household saving figure in 2022) with Barclays, contributes 2.9 tonnes CO2 per year - more than flying from the UK to Rome 14 times. So switching to a greener provider can significantly reduce your carbon footprint! 2. Pensions: Invest your pension in a greener future The UK’s pension funds – the largest in Europe – hold more than £2.6 trillion in assets (Source: ShareAction ). Workplace and personal pensions are typically the largest investments individuals make in their lifetime. But do you know what your pension pot is funding? This money could be invested in creating a better world but much of it is instead fuelling its destruction. Many pension providers' default funds, the ones people are automatically enrolled in, do not exclude sectors that are harmful to the environment. According to the Finance Innovation Lab : £300 billion of UK pension capital is invested in companies with a high risk of driving deforestation £88 billion is invested in the fossil fuel industry only 4% of the pensions industry’s assets are invested in climate solutions. Investments in fossil fuels are also risky which could undermine your pension’s long-term security (Source: ShareAction ). According to Make My Money Matter greening your pension is 21 times more effective at reducing your carbon footprint than giving up flying, no longer eating meat and switching energy provider COMBINED . No pension is perfect but you can take these steps to make yours greener: 1. Check where your money is going Review your pension provider’s investment policy and whether they have policies to exclude or reduce investments in damaging sectors such as fossil fuels. Use MotherTree’s Money Carbon Calculator for free to calculate your pension’s impact. Check your local authority pension fund using the Divest website . Subscribe to Ethical Consumer magazine online to see how 23 major pension providers are ranked. View Make My Money Matter’s rankings of the 12 largest UK pension providers on their climate plans here. 2. Demand ethical options If your pension provider does not offer ethical investment options, don't be afraid to speak up and express your concerns. ShareAction can help you lobby your fund manager for carbon divestment. Use their tools to take action. 3. Switch to an ethical pension fund Find an alternative pension provider or funds that prioritise sustainable investments and explicitly exclude fossil fuels and other harmful industries. Ethical consumer magazine have published this Pension Guide which you can subscribe to, to find the most ethical pensions. Their top 3 most ethical pension funds are: NEST (National Employment Savings Trust) ethical pension fund Pension Bee Climate Fund pension The People's Pension ethical fund Check out this free Good with Money guide - Best ethical pension funds in 2025. Before making any decisions about pensions seek professional advice. Ethical consumer magazine has this guide to finding independent financial advisers specialising in ethical investment . 4. Campaign for change Support campaigns for more responsible investment practices which prioritise sustainable and ethical investments. The UK Divest website is full of useful information for local grassroots groups who are demanding our public institutions divest from the fossil fuel industry. Find your local Divestment campaign here . Fossil Free Shropshire is campaigning for Shropshire Council to divest the Shropshire Pension Fund which still invests at least £26 million in the fossil fuel industry. Read this guide on how to lobby your local councillors about divestment. Write to your MP using UK Divest’s letter proforma. Sign the Finance Innovation Lab and 350.org’s petition calling on the UK government to reform the pensions system so it delivers better outcomes for savers and pensioners, the economy and the environment. Insurance: Switch to insurance that doesn't cost the earth Is your home insurance, travel insurance, health insurance, car insurance or pet insurance inadvertently funding the climate crisis? ShareAction’s Insuring Disaster 2024 report revealed that the insurance sector paid out over $100 billion a year for the last four years in claims related to the impact of global heating. At the same time the insurance companies are continuing to invest in and underwrite increased fossil fuel production and projects which destroy vital ecosystems for agriculture or mining. Here’s what you can do to make sure your insurance provider is not investing your policyholder premiums in activities that harm the environment. 1. Research your insurer's investments Read ShareAction’s Insuring Disaster 2024 report about the insurance sector which ranks the world’s largest insurers’ approaches to responsible investment and underwriting. Use Insure Our Future’s scorecard which provides more in depth analysis of insurance companies underwriting and investing in coal, oil and gas projects. Are they being transparent about their investment practices and do they disclose investments in sectors like fossil fuels and deforestation? Do they have environmental policies in place to actively exclude investments in industries that contribute to the climate crisis. Are they signatories of initiatives like the Principles for Sustainable Insurance. Have they received certifications from organisations like B Corp which confirm they meet rigorous social and environmental standards. 2. Switch to a more ethical insurance company Find an insurer that explicitly avoids supporting industries harmful to the environment and instead invest in renewable energy and conservation efforts. View The Good Shopping Guide’s ethical comparison table of the UK’s big insurance providers. Read Good with Money’s Best ethical home insurers in 2025 . Subscribe to Ethical Consumer magazine online and use their Green insurance guides which cover car, house, pet and health insurance. 3. Campaign for change If your insurance provider is part of the problem write to them or share your concerns on social media and tag your insurance provider to encourage them to take action. Support Insure Our Future - a global campaign urging insurance companies to stop underwriting and investing in fossil fuels. Join Insure our Survival to take direct action outside insurance companies around the UK.

Shropshire Climate Action: Land & Biodiversity Land & biodiversity Farmers are the wardens of our land. In their hands lies both great potential and great challenges – feeding a growing population whilst also restoring ecological health. Land use is crucial to achieve a net zero carbon future as the land represents a significant sink in which to store carbon. Many Shropshire farmers are pioneering new methods of agricultural production and the industry as a whole has committed to achieve a net zero carbon future. The climate crisis will test our food supply chains and there will be a need to build local food resilience and local food networks. SCA wants to lend support, share best practice and be an advocate for positive change. To join Shropshire Climate Action's Land and Biodiversity Working Group which meets regularly please email: contact@shropshireclimateaction.org We also do this in collaborative partnerships, as active members of: The Marches Nature Partnership The Shropshire Hills National Landscape Team (the new name for this designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) Partnership Board, and its Climate Group Shropshire Good Food Partnership South Shropshire Climate Action's Next Steps report identified a menu of opportunities for positive land use and a toolkit for change. Implementation of this menu rests with a range of collaborative partners and local initiatives. Land management Nature & biodiversity Food Water Gardening Nature walks

Shropshire Climate Action: Reuse - Repair - Recycle Reuse-Repair-Recycle Our consu mer society and its environmental impacts We live in a consumer society and a culture that encourages us to buy more than we need. Almost everything we buy takes energy to produce, which is usually sourced from fossil fuels (electricity, gas, coal, oil), so our purchases also contain ‘embedded carbon’. If an item is thrown away and sent to landfill or an incinerator, this contributes to other greenhouse gas emissions, such as methane. Actions you can take Instead of buying new things, adopt the sustainability principles of: Refuse & reduce, Reuse & share, Repair, & repurpose, Rot and Recycle & refill. Refuse & reduce Reuse & share Repair & repurpose Rot (food waste) Recycle & refill
