Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st September we will be at the MAC’s great big green weekender, a family-friendly festival celebrating creativity and local action for our shared planet. There will be a host of great things going on throughout the weekend including workshops, inspiring talks, stalls showcasing local groups and organisations, live performances and much more. You don’t want to miss this one!
ecobirmingham are excited to be launching our ‘online sustainability advice toolkit’ using the One Planet Living® framework to provide you with the knowledge and tools needed to make more sustainable choices.

We are a sustainability charity supporting greener, fairer and healthier communities across the city. Delivering grass roots activities, events and programmes through a variety of projects that engage and educate Birmingham residents, helping them to start or continue a more sustainable lifestyle. We have several online resources including digital walking and cycling maps ‘69wards by bike or foot’ and downloadable guides, offering tips and advice on funding, planning, designing and running a community garden. Our ‘online sustainability toolkit’ is another valuable resource to support individuals across Birmingham to make small changes every day for a big impact. For people and the planet!
Whether you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint, conserve resources, or support local biodiversity, our toolkit offers practical tips and guidance to help you on your journey towards a greener, healthier lifestyle.
