Generation Zero Carbon

Why Generation Zero Carbon?

Generation Zero Carbon Shropshire aims to empower the next generation of Shropshire’s decision-makers. Together they will create and support the necessary measures outlined in the Zero Carbon Shropshire Plan to reduce the county’s emissions to net zero by 2030. Generation Zero Carbon Shropshire recognises the urgency of the climate crisis and understands that it is not a problem for the future, it is here now and must be faced immediately to ensure that there is a future. There is no time to waste, zero carbon by 2030 cannot just be an ambition, it is a must .

Our key campaigns are:
  • Choosing alternatives to fast fashion (pre-loved, clothes swap, repair, selling on...)
  • Better opportunities to choose active travel (walking, cycling...)
  • Reducing household waste (refuse, reduce, rethink, repair, reuse, recycle...)
  • Climate anxiety

    Are you anxious about what the future holds for you? It is well-known that we can reduce symptoms of climate anxiety by empowering young people to feel as if they can make a difference. For example, where we have more access to eco-friendly alternatives and schemes, young people have fewer negative feelings about climate change. These schemes could include:

  • Making active transport more easily available to young people
  • Ensuring all Shropshire households have food waste collection and
  • Putting recycling bins in all town centres in Shropshire.
  • Sign up!
