What if caring for the planet 🌎was also good for your health🩺?

Green and Healthy Frome is the story of a remarkable town that asked that question - and then did something about it.

Doctors👩‍⚕️. Community groups📢. Local council💼. All working together in ways that hadn't been tried before.

The results might surprise you.

🎬 Watch the story unfold... it's 7mins but worth every minutes watch.

Interaction designed by @katekearapelen and @allykingston with input from @peterfloydmacfadyen and Civic Imaginaries Partnership and @suepalmer_23

⭐️ Thursday 7 May
🌍 7pm to 9pm.
📍Rye Bakery Whittox Lane Frome

Free tix book in link above via Linktree

This event brings together people and ideas to explore where we are, and what can happen going forward …

We will gather around a timeline of ‘green’ focused action looking back and forward in time

A few invited guests will call the focus in the room to start us off about the past, present and future, including:

- Peter Macfadyen with a brief history of climate and green action in Frome from the 1980s to now, including Sustainable Frome

- Dr Michael Howcroft and Dr Ellen Bishop from the Civic Imaginaries Partnership will join us to talk about some of their interim findings from their research in Frome around how people collectively reimagine and reinvent their places, with Kate Pelen, the artist working in Frome in response to the CIP research.

Ally Kingston and Kate Pelen will invite us on an interactive conversation around our timeline with plenty of time for conversation and discussion.

Hot drinks will be available (charged), as part of Rye Bakery.

Who is this for?

Anyone new to Frome who wants to orientate themselves, and for *anyone* wanting to find out more or be involved in what’s coming.

What’s it about?

As Green and Healthy Frome comes to an end, having grown out of partnerships including with Sustainable Frome, there is a real opportunity for Frome to consider ‘What’s Next?’

500 to 800 years!

That's how long a single plastic pad sits in landfill.

Green and Healthy Frome wanted to change that.🌍

Together, with our community we switched, we raised money, we told anyone who would listen about the benefits of using plastic-free and reusable period products.

We did it for our bodies, for the planet and for our bank balance... and the ripple effect?

We gave away 635 free period pant packs. If every one of those people makes the switch for life, together we could save an average of 85,000kg of plastic from our waterways. That's the weight of 8 double-decker buses - gone. ♻️

That's an average of £252,000+ back in people's pockets. That's toxins kept out of our bodies. That's a community choosing better. 💚

And this is just the beginning... Are you in? by @greenhealthyfrome

We’re talking about movements! - around climate, politics, independence, community building and more - looking for connections and exchange around the useful ways that people shape and change their places for the better.

From Frome, Peter Macfadyen @peterfloydmacfadyen Hannah Stopford from @frometowncouncil and @suepalmer_23 from @greenhealthyfrome @edventurefrome will be sharing what our town has been doing
And we are very much looking forward to hearing about and learning from the movements of @cesenasiamonoi and Climate Bologna 💚🌍

The formal funding for Green & Healthy Frome draws to a close today - but the quiet revolution has taken root. 🌱

Look around you. It's already alive in the people, places and organisations of this remarkable town.

This isn't goodbye. It's a new chapter. Where will it take you next? 💚

Plastic Bones has been part of the @greenhealthyfrome pop up on Cheap Street these past few days.

Thank you @katekearapelen for installing the piece - a world being held up by hands with the text from the campaign by Frome Youth Climate Action Group projected on the wall. 🌌 The piece raises the stark reality of plastic consuming our planet.

Plastic Bones made by the group with @juliestarks.artist will soon be making its way to Heal Somerset where it will be on display through the summer. Plastic is part of the fossil fuel industry - an extractive addiction we have to reckon with.

Frome Youth Climate Action is led by @chrisredmondmakesstuff and has been supported and developed by us @edventurefrome

Biggest thanks to Chris for his brilliant work supporting this Future Shed residency as part of the @tnlcommunityfund Climate Action Fund 💚🌍
