Sustainability networks UK

"Civic networks should be respected and promoted as sources of empowered citizenship." Professor Stephen Coleman, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford
As with all networks, sustainability networks can help build and share inspiration, enthusiasm, information, knowledge and resources. Networks can also lead to greater influence for people and groups than they could expect if working alone or in isolation.
