What we do:
As a pre-launch event, 103 copies of the Yellow Pages were collected and recycled from houses in
Longworth village (before their current acceptance in VoWH brown bins). This led to LEN's foundation
in October 2007. LEN's first event, in spring 2008, was an Eco Awareness Day at the village hall
after a showing of the Al Gore film: "An Inconvenient Truth". This was well attended with stalls on
TVEC, CAG, VOWH, Longworth School, proposed woodland (since completed), composting and
grow-your-own , carbon footprint calculation, solar-electric power , standby power saving, and
what LEN is.
In the autumn of 2008, under the organisation of LEN, villagers and friends planted 800 trees on a
(0.3 hectare) site in Longworth as a Community Woodland. This is situated next to the footpath
running south from the church and comprises 16 types of indigenous trees and shrubs
As one of their activities, LEN is a Community Action Group - one of 27 CAGs in Oxfordshire which
work to increase awareness of waste issues and the ways to reduce the amount of resources that are
thrown away.
This web Site is necessarily evolving, and we will be grateful for your ideas how best to develop it
Most of us are concerned with how we can reduce emission of carbon dioxide and ease the transition from oil
dependence to local sustainability, and others will be soon.
If you would be interested in:
(i) actively participating in development of LEN and/or
(ii) receiving information only about developments in LEN, and sharing experience and information,
