We're keen to help local eco-friendly businesses. One of these is the Zero Store in #StratfordUponAvon, which is an award winning plastic-free shopping centre at 20b Rother Street, opposite the market square. Open Tues-Saturday. Zero helps you live with less plastic waste.

There's lots going on in the Net Zero Climate Hub in 30 Meer Street all year round: we're not just for #GreatBigGreenWeek. Technology advice, green book club, rare recycling, Carbon Literacy training, pix-n-fix and skill shares.

Fancy some eco-friendly reading and discussion? Then pop along to the Climate Hub at 30 Meer Street, #StratfordUponAvon on Monday 15th June at 1pm for the #GreatBigGreenWeek book talk on "The Value of a Whale" by Adrienne Buller.

Fancy a bit of a social bike ride through the Warwickshire countryside? During #GreatBigGreenWeek we've got just such a ride on Saturday 6th June 10am to 1pm. Meet at the Stratford Greenway car park and cycle along the Greenway to the launch event at Meon Vale.
