RESOLVED that
1. The ‘Take the Jump’ campaign be supported;
2. Waverley residents be encouraged to ‘take the jump’;
3. Organisations within the public, private and voluntary sectors operating in Waverley be encouraged to roll out the “Take the Jump” seminar to employees/ members;
4. Events be organised in Waverley to encourage people to promote the National ‘take the jump’ launch in June; and
5. A ‘Take the Jump” awareness-raising campaign be organised to inform Waverley staff members and councillors, who will be invited to try making at least one shift in the way that they eat, travel and shop.
Reason: Whilst Waverley Borough Council and other tiers of government maintain responsibility for making many of the changes in the Carbon Neutrality Action Plan, to achieve significant reductions in the carbon footprint of the borough individuals and communities can help to make a difference by making some of the six shifts in behaviour.
