GreenTEA

GreenTEA (Green Transition Eynsham Area) is about helping people to make the transition to a more sustainable lifestyle, one which is independent of fossil fuels. The emphasis is on grassroots action and building a more resilient community, enabling us to live within the planet’s resources. We can offer advice and support on lowering your carbon footprint through five working groups which focus on the areas outlined in the tabs above. We work with residents across the Eynsham, Aston, Cassington, Farmoor, Freeland, Long Hanborough, Standlake, and Stanton Harcourt areas. For more information on the Transition movement, please scroll down.

We send out a monthly e-newsletter, The Brew, which includes details on local events as well as national and international news relating to sustainability and the environment. Please sign up here to receive a copy, our updated Privacy Policy is also available below.

Green TEA is part of the Transition Initiative, a grassroots movement to help everyone in the community to cope with the transition from a global, fossil-fuel based, polluting and vulnerable economy, to a more sustainable lifestyle based on clean, renewable energy and local produce.

• Amplification of policymakers, corporations and communities in multiple countries to the above
• Rise of artificial intelligence and robotics
• Challenge that solar companies and their investors are facing to keep up with these crucial developments
