Launch of Thame Sustainability Champions

On Wednesday 26 March, our fabulous The Players Theatre, was the venue for an event hosted by Thame Town Council in partnership with 21st Century Thame, which saw the launch of a new award for local business and organisations – the Thame Sustainability Champion Award.

The award is designed to celebrate and encourage those committed to sustainable practices, and foster a culture of collaboration between those involved, with opportunity to share best practice and inspire new approaches. The award seeks to help Thame to become a beacon of excellence for local sustainability practices.
 
The Award launch was part of an event celebrating the end of a funded programme of Businesses Energy workshops that have been delivered over the past year. Also featured was an interview between Alison Grunewald of the Low Carbon Hub and Thame Players’ Steve Lambell, looking at the impact of their recently installed solar panels; followed by Alun Rowe of Pentangle, who gave a presentation on reducing the carbon footprint of websites and the environmental impact of AI.
