Plastic bag pollution may not be the worst environmental problem that we face, but it is symbolic of our tendancy to live in a throw-away society. Tackling it is one of the first steps towards more responsible resource usage and waste minimisation.

Responsible Transport Solutions for Lyttelton

Project Lyttelton is exploring what sustainable transport for our community might look like. We encourage people to walk, use buses and reduce car use by sharing rides. Co-operatively owned car sharing is also a possibility. Watch the You Tube videos at World Carshare Video Library. of Vancouver’s Co-operative Auto Network (CAN) with that project’s initiator. If you are interested in exploring this concept for our Lyttelton community contact us

Currently a CCC community van coordinated by Project Lyttelton is used regularly on Tuesdays.
