Greening Mortimer is our local community group formed as a result of the nationwide Greening Campaign (see https://greening-campaign.org ).
We’re aiming to help reduce our daily carbon footprint by making small and simple changes to the way we live. We’ve been offering thermal imaging for homes in the village and have plans for increasing biodiversity.
