About Sustainable Bungay
Sustainable Bungay was formed at the end of a Climate Change conference organised by Emmanuel Church in 2007. Since then we've screened films, organised a local food conference, a Give and Take Day and a Carfree Day. More recently we've held an Energy Day at the library and prepared a community carbon audit.
If you'd like to get involved feel free to sign up for our google group or have a look at our calendar and come to an event.
