Teme Valley Environment Group

The Teme Valley Environment Group (TVEG) is based in and around Knighton, Powys. We are an open group and welcome people of all ages and abilities who are concerned about local sustainability and the environment. Our current concerns include local food production, reduction in the use of plastics, renewable energy supply via our partnership with Knighton Community Woodlands Group and the Big Energy Network and other environmental projects including regular litter picking, developing sign up to to free water refill schemes and support to other local single issue campaigns. We support and have cross membership with other local groups such as Wales in Bloom, and the sustainable food group.

“Climate action is important to our organisation because our climate has a critical and large impact on all of our activities. The speed of climate change is and will have negative impacts on populations unless more is done to slow down the speed of change. Governments in the UK need to be proactive in strategy, policy, economic decisions and legal directives to push for societal change in behaviour. ”
