OnePlanetYork Launch

OPY is a network of local organisations and business working to make York a more sustainable, resilient and collaborative city.

One Planet York

York is a fantastic place to live, work and visit. But as with other cities, the clock is ticking. Typically in the UK we are using the resources of three planets when we have just one. Join us for the launch of One Planet York, an emerging partnership working towards the vision of a more sustainable, resilient and collaborative ‘One Planet’ city. 
There are lots of things we can do at home, work and play to ensure we get back to more sustainable lifestyles and create a more sustainable city. Great things are already happening: zero waste factories, electric bus and taxi fleets, the country’s best high street, the Uk's first mutually owned library services, super-connected digital city status, the UKs first UNESCO City of Media Arts, integrated wellness services and communities mobilsed to tend their own green spaces. Taken together, these disparate actions are helping put York on a more sustainable and resilient footing.
Why attend?  Delegates will hear about the about the benefits of city collaboration and how they too can be part of a city pulling together.  OnePlanetYork aims to provide: 
<UL>
<LI>A platform to showcase city leadership and inspiring actions towards the OnePlanetYork vision</LI>
<LI> Opportunities to connect with people and organisations as part of a city working together</LI>
<LI>Practical toolkits and advice to help your organisation, household or community be more sustainable and resilient.</LI>
</UL>
