Working towards a carbon neutral, resilient community in balance with nature
Who are we?
We are a friendly, informal group of people living in the East Linton area who care deeply about the climate and biodiversity crises. We have a small steering group, specific projects under way, and sub-groups working on particular themes. We have about a hundred members in total. Anyone is welcome to join and get involved as much or little as they want.
Why are we doing this?
As the news about the climate emergency has got worse and worse we each found ourselves becoming progressively more worried. Eventually we started talking to each other about it and discovered that we were all feeling the same way. It helped to talk, and we became motivated to act.
We first met as a group of ten people sitting round a kitchen table, then held monthly meet ups at the pub. Now we are running some small and some not-so-small projects. We feel less powerless now we are doing something positive..
Get involved
The more of us that get involved, the more we can do as a community! Everyone is welcome to join and take part.
Help us to do all the things that are necessary to make CAEL effective in making a contribution against climate change.
Give practical assistance to a variety of local, regional and national organisations in the fight against climate breakdown and environmental destruction.
Get directly involved in driving our initiatives forwards by joining one of our main teams.
Join any CAEL meet-ups (either in person, or on-line, dependent on Covid-19), come along and see what it’s all about!
