We are East Linton Primary School . We have wonderful pupils aged from 3 to 12 years old and a dedicated staff team. We sing about “Going Green” and are committed to looking after our environment and caring for the world in which we live and will live in when we are older.

I am an Acupuncture Practitioner and have lived and worked in East Linton for the last ten years. Over the last two years I have been co-chair of East Linton Community Hall with my partner. I see the Community Hall as an integral part of a sustainable community and I am keen to see the Hall also develop as an energy efficient and environmentally friendly space. I believe that local action and community involvement can have a huge impact on our lives, it is something that we can all get involved in to make a difference.

I’m a retired infection control nurse and a grandparent. From my childhood to current times, the environment and individual perceptions have really changed to the detriment of both wild life, and our local way of living. I care about the future for the next generation and actively engage in The Shed and Ground Force Team in East Linton to promote an understanding of how gardening and construction or repairs to items brings into focus what well being really means. This all contributes to a better Climate for all.

I am Gill Robertson, East Linton local and children’s theatre maker. I have lived in the village for over 10 years and love where I live. For me the environment is the most important thing and I am trying as best as I can to limit my carbon footprint on the planet!

I’ve been involved in the green movement since my teens (over 40 years ago), and a member of the Scottish Green Party since 1998. After many years searching for a small area of land for an orchard I moved to Tyninghame with my wife Erica in 2014. I was delighted to learn about CAEL and to meet such a lovely, motivated bunch of people so nearby. I split my time between social science research in public health at Glasgow University (3 days a week), managing an organic small holding, and community/green activities/politics.

The East Linton Melting Pot is a group of enthusiastic and wonderful humans who have become part of our lives in a very organic way. My involvement has been one of linking people in the community with the ‘Melting pot’. Our family life has been influenced by this group with learning more about how we can have less of an impact on Earth’s resources; learning new skills and saving money by making our own cleaning products but also learning about ourselves and how our daily lives can have such an influence on our environment.

I have children and grandchildren. I know that my duty is to do whatever I can in the hope that they may have a chance of living their lives a decent world. I have worked in medicine all my life. I am alarmed and angry about the speed of environmental destruction and global heating. I have absolutely no doubt that human damage to our planet is now by far the greatest risk to health and survival.

Hello ! It’s Lucy here from Tyninghame. I have lived here for almost three years. The shoreline is my everyday ‘go to’ spot in sadness and in joy - it’s where I come alive. I cannot believe how lucky I am to be so close to such a magical place. Together we can effect positive change; honour the beauty of a simple life and make the world a better place. That is what I am committed to.

Hi, I am Mrs Gill Gardner and I am Head Teacher at East Linton Primary. Outside of school, I love to read, explore beautiful East Lothian and I am a massive football fan! I am a wife and a mum and I am committed at home and work to educating those I meet to lead a more sustainable life. I am delighted that our school is part of this wonderful community initiative.
