Our Environment and Recycling
ClimateXChange
The Oxfordshire ClimateXChange is a new Climate Change project for Oxfordshire. It's about you, your family, your neighbour, your street, your pub, school, business, church all getting 'fantastically imaginative' about climate change.
Climate Explorers
The Oxfordshire ClimateXChange are recruiting volunteer 'climate explorers' to generate a buzz about climate change in their local community, workplace, village hall, community group, religious centre, pub, shop, school, youth group...everywhere. You don't need to be a climate expert...you just need to be enthusiastic about creating a climate buzz among your friends, work colleagues, community. Find out more at the ClimateXChange Website.
Change Survey
What's your attitude to climate change? Does it bore you to tears, or make you excited? Too overwhelming to contemplate, or a motivator for action? Whatever your thoughts, we'd like to know them in the Oxfordshire Climate Survey - the largest survey of attitudes to climate change in Oxfordshire. The survey will only take a few minutes, can be done online or downloaded .. and you could win some great prizes. Go to the ClimateXChange Website.
Get Involved
Why not get your school involved with saving the environment? Check out the Eco-schools initiative for ideas and how to get involved.
If you are concerned about the wider environment, get involved with like-minded people and have a look at the Young People's Trust for the Environment website.

Recycling
We all know that recycling has a crucial part to play in helping us to improve our environment and preserve the planet for future generations to come.
Oxford City Council has just introduced new recycling plans for Oxford which hopes to see the amount of rubbish we recycle double. This target can only be met, however, with your support. Check out the Oxford City Council - Recycling Information webpages for more info.
For more general recycling info and what you can do to get involved, look at the Recycle-more and Recyclenow websites.
