WHAT’S GREEN IN BIRMINGHAM?

Climate change (or climate chaos as some people call it) is a reality which will increasingly dominate the 21st century. As citizens of Britain’s second city, we can help create a city to be proud of, leading the way in reducing global warming to help save the planet for future generations.

If you’re looking for green products and services, green spaces, green initiatives and groups in Birmingham UK, start here. With your help, we can help everyone cut the carbon by pooling our knowledge on all the different initiatives in the city to cut CO2 and other greenhouse gases – and other forms of pollution.

GREENING BRUM:

If you are doing anything to help create a sustainable economy in the city, to preserve biodiversity, or to increase awareness of ecological issues, we want to know about it.

Recent updates from some trusted blogs and Twitter streams, including BSustained, ZeroCarbonHouse, BhamRecycled, Faith & Climate Change, and the Lighter Footprints blog at the Birmingham Mail.

The (numerous!) Twitter updates from Birmingham Friends of the Earth are on another page, but the FoE blog posts are below.The content of the updates below is the responsibility of each organisation, which is noted at the end of each entry.

We’ve also created a birmingham-eco Twitter list which shows the latest from all the green Birmingham Twitter streams we know about – this is on the Twitter website itself.
