PEAT on the STREET given a highly commended mention at the ACT-TravelWise awards ceremony on 13th November
On the five specified evaluation criteria, the independent expert jury chose Sheffield as the overall winner this year but jury members agreed that the entries from London, Newcastle and Wareham each deserved a mention for their efforts in promoting European Mobility Week.
Thanks to everyone that took part in PEAT on the STREET - especially the exhibitors, performers and sponsors. It really was a sunny, fun day with lots of positive energy to harness and make Purbeck more sustainable.

Who are PEAT?
PEAT is a group of like-minded individuals working towards sustainability in Purbeck. We encourage “living lightly” and sharing the Earth’s resources fairly.
PEAT is a Dorset Agenda 21 (DA21), Community Choices for Sustainable Living (CCSL) group that formed in June 2006. DA21 is an independent charity that works co-operatively with local people, communities, businesses, educational bodies, local government and other organisations to encourage sustainable living in Dorset.
The CCSL project aims to inspire and enable local communities to choose more sustainable lifestyles by. CCSL PEAT formed in early 2007 to focus on local Purbeck issues. To date we have taken part in the Purbeck Environmental Fair and have organised a study visit to New Earth Solutions composting facility.
PEAT aims to:
(1) Raise public awareness and understanding about sustainability
(2) Support or initiate projects which demonstrate sustainability
(3) Influence decision makers to take sustainability into account throughout their decision making
As part of DA21 we share the definition of sustainable development as : “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”
