About Wem Area Climate Action
WACA is a collaborative group of local volunteers dedicated to promoting climate action through community engagement and advocacy. Our mission is to empower individuals to make a difference for a sustainable and thriving environment.
Wem Area Climate Action (WACA) is a small voluntary group trying to help the people of Wem through the climate crisis and to look after our town. Wem is the home of Henry Eckford who created the modern Sweet Pea and is a town with a big heart. We want the BIG heart of the Wemian people to reach out and help our town survive the climate crisis to ensure a Green New Deal for now and generations to come.
Who Are We and Why Have We Formed?
We formed because our town and rural communities need to come together to help each other as the climate crisis emerges more fully and evolves.
We do not know how it will affect Wem but we can start to make changes in our personal and local lives in order to be as prepared as possible to help the future of our town's green spaces and rural life. There are many ways you can begin to make a difference and we will be developing our website to share resources, guides and tips to give you some ideas to help, and hope that you'll be inspired to get involved in some of our community activities too.
We meet monthly in Wem Baptist Church on Chapel Street, usually on a Wednesday night.
Greener web hosting
We have moved our website to a new hosting platform, Krystal.io, to reduce our digital emissions and online carbon footprint. Krystal's data centres run on 100% renewable energy, and they're a certified B Corp. Reforestation plays a key role in their mission to reduce the environmental impact of hosting - for every Krystal customer, they plant a tree each month. Read about these and Krystal's other green initiatives. Krystal also offer free hosting for registered charities.
