The ECO group would like to welcome more members to attend their monthly talks and films.

Purpose of group: To become better informed about ecology and the environment and improve our awareness of the environmental threats which can cause ecological systems to deteriorate. To consider what we can do, as individuals and as a community, to minimise our negative impact on those systems.

We hold this group in the pleasant meeting room at The Other Place, 81 - 83 Meadow Street. We meet at 2.30pm for coffee/tea and biscuits, then into the meeting room for a 3pm start to finish at 4.15pm. The total charge is £2 (50% goes as a donation to the Other  Place, the remainder for costs of speakers, etc.). However, first time attendees do not pay.

During the February meeting we heard from North Somerset Waste Disposal Unit, informing us of their successes (and failures), in our area, as well as discussing the proposed changes due to take place shortly.

The March meeting was an extremely interesting and informative one on ‘How Green is your EV?’. With an excellent U-tube film and a journalist Robin Whitlock, as guest speaker, we all learned a great deal more information regarding electric vehicles.

Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday 31^st July and will be about litter and especially plastic waste in the environment. Our speakers are Sophie and Jools from Sophie’s Super Litter Picking. 

The Other Place does not have a sign with this name on it. However, it is easy to find, - going up Meadow Street, same side of road as Atlantic Fish Bar, but nearer to junction with Albert Street. Look for the flowers decorating the window. All u3a members are very welcome to join us at any of our meetings.
