Description
en-form is the Colchester Environment Centre and we opened in March 2001. Our aim is to encourage public involvement in safeguarding and improving the environment for the benefit of us all. As well as offering advice on many environmental issues we run several projects covering local food and recycling. Local Food
We have a long standing interest in local food and we run Farmers' Markets in Colchester and Wivenhoe. All the producers come from a 30 mile radius of Colchester, the food is fresh, food miles are reduced and the local economy benefits. We have published 2 issues of the North East Essex Local Food Directory.
RePaint
We run a Paint recycling Scheme, which takes in unwanted, but usable, paint from local residents and businesses and redistributes it to people on benefit,community groups, schools, churches and charities. The scheme has been operating since December 2004 and we have distributed 13 tonnes of paint up to March 2007.
Give or Take
We also operate a website called give or take, www.giveortake.org, which enables customers to list, free of charge, items they don't need, see what others have to give away or place a request for something they need.
Eco-Teams
We facilitate small groups of individuals through Eco - Teams to help them improve their lifestyle by incorperating environmental best practices.
