Environment

Castle Cary Town declared a climate emergency in 2019 and this extract from our strategic objectives is how we will strive to achieve it: 
Vision: Castle Cary will become a carbon neutral town by 2030 in alignment with other Councils across the UK. We will aim to achieve this by:
 
• Working in partnership with the new Somerset Council, SCAN and neighbouring Town Councils to promote sustainability values and continue to support Fair Trade principles.
• Support the installation of car charging points and consider providing bike charging points at the Millbrook Hub
• Supporting recycling and the reduction of waste.
• Providing a water distribution point which will reduce the use of plastic bottles.
• Supporting wildflower preservation working with volunteers to support campaigns to
rebalance biodiversity.
• Keeping the Cemetery an environmentally beautiful space for all, with wildflowers and
using eco ways of dealing with vermin.
• Working with the transport group to reduce the impact of travel by suggesting new ways to travel.
• Employing safe working practices with health & safety and environmental protection in mind.
• Investing money ethically where possible.

• Encouraging developers to work with sustainable materials and dispose of materials in an environmentally friendly way.
