WHAT WE DO
Some of our Key Projects
An important part of managing our collective resources responsibly is the adage: Reduce, Reuse, Refill, Repair & Repurpose, Recycle.
The Buxton Library of Things provides affordable access to over 100 useful resources and things that you don’t need to own.
Plastic pollution is evident all around us, blighting our lanes, paths and hedgerows, ending up in waterways and contributing to climate change.
Energy is fundamental to our modern way of life. But energy – specifically fossil fuels – is the main driver of climate change.

Thanks to all who came, plans for a repeat in the spring already underway. We love swapping and seeing one person’s spare stuff become someone else’s inspiration. #CircularEconomy
