Turn Lyme Green promotes sustainable living in Lyme Regis. Set up in 2007, we engage the community in environmental issues. We meet regularly, plan campaigns and events, and have fun. Collaboration with other environmental groups in West Dorset and beyond is an important part of keeping everyone informed and up to date. TLG acts local, thinks global.
LATEST CAMPAIGN NEWS: PLASTIC FREE LYME REGIS
SUCCESS! In June 2018 Lyme Regis gained title, Plastic Free Lyme Regis, from the Plastic Free Communities initiative of Surfers Against Sewage. Lyme Regis is the first town in Dorset – and 24th in the country out of over 300 applying – to receive this accolade. Local businesses, organisations and residents are all taking steps to reduce single-use plastics. For more information, visit our new web site for Plastic Free Lyme Regis:
NEXT MEETING
A NEW YEAR PARTY
Tuesday, 8th January.
Driftwood Cafe, Baptist Church, top of Broad Street, Lyme Regis.
7.30pm
Everyone so enjoyed themselves last year; another party is planned for 2019… a chance for us to relax, exchange views, meet others and thank all those who have supported Turn Lyme Green and Plastic Free Lyme Regis (PFLR) this past year. If you fancy it, we would love contributions of song, music, rhyme or dance.. a favourite reading, perhaps – all with a ‘green’ theme. Bring a plate of food to share and we will provide some warming punch. So please put the date in your diary. It would help us to know if you are coming; a quick rsvp would be welcome. enquiries@turnlymegreen.co.uk But if plans change at the last minute, just come along on the night.
