ROTARY ENVIRONMENTAL PLANS FOR 2025

During 2024 the Rotary Club of Towcester has continued to look for ways to encourage environmental improvements and raise awareness of the dangers of not looking after the planet.

Over a hundred trees have been planted and we continue to work with schools and other communities, to encourage a sense of responsibility and local pride with activities such as litter picking and general planting of flowers and vegetables.

It is worth remembering that we face multiple challenges. Global warming, plastic waste, pollution, litter, threats to wildlife and the ecosystem.

Problems may seem difficult to address but we can all help in simple ways. There is a huge amount of waste. Food, packaging, clothing, single use plastics are examples.With a bit of planning this can be reduced significantly and you can save money too!

This year we plan to widen our activaties and would welcome ideas and support.

We are planning programmes to support businesses and individuals in the achievement of environmental improvements. At the very least these can be satisfying and often fun. At best we hope to make a difference and start a progressive movement.

Rotary can provide help and has international resources to back up with contacts and information.

We would like to welcome younger enthusiasts. 

We have a competition for the Rotary Young Environmentalist of the Year. If you are between 7 and 17 give it a go. Entries can include stories of projects, photos, posters, poems. 

Lets us know if you are interested and we will do the rest. Winners can win prizes!
