About us

Earth Action North Devon is a local charity (Reg No: 1182464) on a mission to protect and improve our environment through community action.

We launched with a simple aim: to tackle plastic pollution head-on by raising awareness, reducing consumption and clearing waste from the environment. Our remit has since evolved and expanded. Through education, events, campaigns and networks, today we’re dedicated to inspiring re-connection with nature, driving sustainable behaviour change and accelerating environmental action across North Devon to foster a healthier relationship between people and the natural world.
We offer tools and support to inspire everyone to take action in their community across multiple projects campaigns and themes:

projects campaigns and themes:

• Repair Cafes
• Education
• Community Cleans
• Community Lobbying
• Sustainable Tourism
• Sustainable Business
• Sustainable Communities (plastic free communities)
• Sustainable events
• Volunteering opportunities
• Community collaboration

You can read about all these in more detail on their website.
