Thame Green Living
Town-wide climate action in Thame, guided by the Green Living Plan
Thame Green Living is a community group that has carried out impressive climate action across the town, guided by its well-researched and striking Green Living Plan.
The Green Living Plan is a ten-year blueprint for Thame, unanimously adopted by the Town Council in 2020. It sets out over 180 recommended actions across five areas:
- Green spaces and bio-diversity
- Water and flood protection
- Lower emissions and cleaner air
- Renewable energy, energy efficiency and electric vehicles
- Waste reduction and recycling
The group has taken part in Solar Streets, which helps households install solar panels at a discount through bulk buying and coordinated installation. It has saved an estimated five tonnes of CO₂.
The group is also developing a shared electric vehicle hire club for Thame and nearby villages, and is involved in a clean air project with local schools that encourages pupils to walk, scoot or cycle to school.
