Our Exmouth Our Planet Climate Change Networking Meeting See the Photos On a cold, wet Exmouth evening, over 90 people representing 50 different local groups met to discuss their vision for what a low carbon Exmouth might look like, and to identify immediate steps we can all take towards it . Hosted by Transition Exmouth, this was the first of an exciting series of events brought about by the declaration of a Climate Emergency by local, regional and national governments. People present ranged from parliamentary candidates toExtinction rebellion activists , local businesses to Facebook groups, Allotment holders to Churches, restaurants to schools. "The synergy in the room as we all worked together was amazing", said Carol Jay , Transition secretary. The evening started with a rousing series of welcome speeches from Nicky Nicholls the new Chair of Transition Exmouth, plus the outgoing Chair Adrian O'Toole and local student Jess Nicholls, who inspired attendees with her experiences in the Fridays for Future school strike movement. Working groups for the evening were formed covering a range of issues : Food , Built Environment, Community, Energy, Transport , Biodiversity and Reducing Waste. Together the groups mapped out all the great things currently happening in Exmouth, and what they would like to see happening in the future. They focused on what actions would be needed to achieve the big visions, and what rapid steps we can all take today. Nicky Nicholls said, “Tonight was brilliant! But now the hard work really begins. There is such an appetite to support Exmouth, the residents and the Council in achieving the changes that are needed to be Carbon Neutral by 2030. The plan for how to make those desires a reality is being developed and there are some great ideas afoot. Watch this space!" The most popular long term vision was an Exmouth Eco Hub or an environmental / arts discovery centre where workshops can be held, information shared and practical community action taken. This suggestion came up on every table ! A few of the hundreds of ideas for a next step we can all take tomorrow ranged from : Switching to a renewable energy supplier, volunteering for an eco group , using the Refill shops in Exmouth, cycling more , joining a car share scheme and of course planting a tree. You can see all of the notes from every table here; These contain suggestions under the headings: 1. Positive stuff is happening in Exmouth now 2. Our vision for carbonfree Exmouth in 2030 3.
