We’re planning a series of events for this autumn/winter on saving energy, saving you money and reducing your carbon footprint. We would love to know what you’re interested in.
We’ve built a short survey which you can take here: ECO Action Carbon Events Survey
Thank you for taking time to complete the survey: We’ll use the feedback you give us to shape our events programme, and to better inform any other ECO Action projects or initiatives we may run.
Need to fix something but don’t have the tools you need? Don’t want to invest in something you only need to use once? Come to the Library in the Hub and borrow our useful Things for your home, projects and adventures.
Simply create and confirm your membership via this link (Share a LoT Maidenhead: Inventory), then start browsing our catalogue for anything you would like to reserve!
ECO Action’s Share a LoT operates at the ECO Action Hub in the Nicolson Centre, where items are collected from and returned. If you would like to learn more about the LoT, you can find out more on the ECO Action website, or you can come and chat to one of the volunteers at the Hub.
* If you’d like to help with the Library – please come and talk to us!!

What’s it all about? We all know we need to reduce our carbon footprint, don’t we? We can see climate change is real, that there are global issues and local concerns. Can we afford to do nothing, or can we really make some changes ourselves and have an impact?
Can you make a difference? What can you do to really reduce carbon, save money, and equally importantly how will you feel if you do make changes? How much difference can you really make as a person, and how easy will it be? We can help you!
Introducing the 10% Challenge: Understanding your personal and household’s carbon footprint, finding tools and approaches to become more aware, then being given plans, approaches, and support to reduce your footprint year on year is what the 10% Challenge is all about.
Tell me more?
What next? Come and see us and get some great ideas to start your journey and make a difference now. Sign up with us to get more help. We are open Thursdays to Sundays (here)
Come to our Anniversary Party: we’ll have our team there ready to talk with you AND we’ll have special guests including RBWM’s Karen Davies (Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Biodiversity) and her colleagues signing up to and taking the 10% Challenge with you!!
Saturday 2nd March 2024
Join us in the ECO Action Hub on Saturday 2nd March anytime between 11:00 to 13:00 for a seed swap! Get inspired to grow your own, see great ideas and get helpful tips if you are a novice or an expert. And you don’t actually need seeds to swap… just come along and join in!
What is a Seed Swap? “A great opportunity for gardeners to organize their seed collections and get rid of the ones they don’t want. They can also use the event to pick up seeds that they do want to grow. In all, it’s a win-win for gardeners and reduces wastage and cost.
What is it? Would you use it?? We really would like your views!
Take our survey here! It takes less than 5 minutes: https://mirgenraw.limesurvey.net/535645?lang=en
