About our group
One Planet Wincanton is a community group set up by residents of Wincanton and the surrounding area working towards a sustainable future. It was set up in response to the UK Parliament’s declaration of an Environmental and Climate Emergency and SSDC’s declaration of a Climate and Ecological Emergency and is contributing to WEEP (Wincanton Environmental and Ecological Plan).
Why are we called One Planet Wincanton? If everyone in the world lived the way we do in Western Europe (and that includes the UK, Somerset and Wincanton) we would need three Planet Earths to support us. We only have one.
“Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year”. www.overshootday.org
