About this website
The aim of this website is to encourage people to use their local community facilities, to reduce their 'carbon footprints' (go to www.carbonindependent.org) and increase sustainability.
It gives information on a number of community groups and small businesses on the Wirral that are consistent with the move to a sustainable low-energy lifestyle.
The are some big changes that will affect the Wirral over the coming years:
• North Sea oil is running out, and the UK is now a net importer of oil.
• Globally, new oil discoveries are fewer and smaller, and in areas where it is more difficult to extract.
• Climate change is likely to have a large effect on every country of the world.
These changes will mean that local communities and small local businesses will become more important once again. This website aims to strengthen these in anticipation of the changes that are coming.

Groups are encouraged to use this website to advertise their existence, and any events and activities that they wish to publicise.
