Photo exhibition celebrates Dorset climate action

A new photo exhibition that celebrates the steps organisations are taking to help tackle climate change in Dorset is to visit a number of locations over the next few months including Verwood Hub from 2 to 18 August, open from 6:30am to 10pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 4pm Saturday to Sunday.

‘Our journey to net zero’ features a collection of inspiring images that tell the stories of local organisations which, with the help of Dorset Council’s Low Carbon Dorset programme, are helping reduce the county’s carbon footprint.

Thirteen Dorset-based organisations feature in this new free exhibition, each telling their own story of how they’re cutting emissions and becoming more sustainable.

Cllr Nick Ireland, Dorset Council’s new leader and cabinet member for Climate Change and Environment, said: “As a council, we are committed to addressing climate change. And we recognise that we have an important role to play in driving our county towards net zero.

“Through our Low Carbon Dorset programme, we’ve now helped hundreds of organisations reduce their carbon footprints. This exhibition is a great way to celebrate what these organisations have achieved and inspire others to follow suit.”
