Climate Action survey

Greening Steyning is running an online survey to find out what steps people are taking locally to cut their carbon footprints and help tackle climate change. It takes five minutes and is optionally anonymous. They are also looking for volunteers with wildlifefriendly gardens to open up their gates in June to help others who are thinking of doing the same.
