Information

The Sustainable Citizenship project aims to make environmental innovation commonplace among citizens and communities, and contribute to Peterborough's reputation as a centre for environmental sustainability.

Latest Activity: Feb 2

Sustainable Citizenship aims to encourage, test and support local people’s ideas that make green behaviour easier. We will invite local people to innovation events that spark off brilliant ideas, and help test the best of them in a local neighbourhood. You will be supported through a network of like-minded people that can help, along with access to seed-funding. We hope that the outcome will make Peterborough even better known for its environmental innovation.

This map shows the community projects we are currently supporting. If you are interested in running your own project, get in touch by leaving a comment below!

Yes it’s that time of year again when we would like to promote recycling at Christmas amongst the Primary Schools in Peterborough. We are pleased to announce that this year we will be working in Partnership with Peterborough United, to promote environmental sustainability in the community.
This year’s competition is to design and make a recycled Christmas tree and decorations using “recyclable” materials. This will be held in at the Peterborough United Ground on Thursday 9th December 2010 at 10.00am. If you would like your Peterborough Primary School to enter the competition then please contact me on kirsty.martin@peterborough.gov.uk; entries need to be in my 26 November 2010
