Connecting insight for better, more sustainable Surrey
to make a diference.

Conserve water

Home

It's so easy to take water for granted - turn on a tap, it appears. This makes it easy to forget what a precious resource it is, and with Surrey likely to get hotter and drier in the coming years, we must work together to conserve water however possible.

Manage garden waste

Garden/Biodiversity

You might have come here to find out how to throw away your garden waste - but did you know you can make useful resources out of your green waste? Instead of chucking your green waste, why not try turning it into compost instead?

Choose a good compost/fertiliser

Garden/Biodiversity

What's our planet's most efficient natural method of storing carbon? You might be thinking forests - maybe the Amazon? While the ocean and the forests are our largest 'carbon sink', peatlands are another important natural carbon sink.

Understand your carbon impact

Voice

If you feel overwhelmed in making the right choices, you're not alone. It can be extremely confusing to figure out how we can lower the impact of our everyday actions while still enjoying life. Lots of actions, such as reducing single use plastics, are great for the environment but don’t reduce much cutting carbon.

Talk with others about climate change

Voice

In the UK, a staggering 40% of us would donate 1% of our personal income to tackle climate change. And only 5% of Surrey residents reported to view climate action as insignificant (In-house survey conducted for SCC by Temple Group 2022).

Get support with sustainable business growth

Workplace

Business growth in Surrey will create job opportunities and support communities. And with the ever-increasing demand for green skills and technology, now is a great chance to support businesses to move towards a sustainable economy.
