WEF's current action areas:

• Planning and Policy - assessing how development decisions affect our surroundings. WEF is a member of the Wandsworth Local Strategic Partnership.
• Waste Minimisation - how to reduce our use of materials such as excess packaging and how to consider waste as a valuable resource
• Energy - using energy wisely and making better use of renewable technologies in order to reduce reliance on fossil and nuclear fuels. Emphasis on Climate Change and Peak Oil: how to make cuts in our carbon emissions. We can prevent the worst effects of climate change by starting to reduce emissions now and helping others to do so. (see 'Sustainable Living' on the Useful Links page for a definition of Peak Oil)
• Green Pledge - helping to strengthen the Wandsworth 'Greener Borough' initiative through increasing community activity
