An exciting new initiative has been launched by Leicestershire County Council to celebrate individuals and groups across the county who are making a difference in the fight against climate change.
The Net Zero Heroes scheme invites residents to nominate individuals or groups who are taking positive climate action and living sustainably in their local communities.
The scheme aims to shine a spotlight on the inspirational efforts of local people contributing to the county's ambition of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Nominations are open for a wide range of climate-focused activities, including but not limited to:
Net Zero Heroes is a fantastic opportunity to recognise the incredible work happening across Leicestershire to combat climate change. Every small action contributes to our shared goal of a sustainable future.
I encourage everyone to think about those in their community who are making a real difference and take a moment to nominate them. I am looking forward to hearing about the inspiring work being carried out by people across the county.
Together, we can celebrate their achievements and inspire even more people to take positive action.
