About Action 21
Action 21 is a local volunteer-based charity
that aims to reduce the environmental impact of the Leamington and
Warwick communities and raise awareness of the climate crisis and the benefits of sustainable
living.
Re-Useful Centre
Action 21’s Re-Useful Centre saves over 100 tonnes
of donated items from landfill each year by selling second hand bikes,
bric-a-brac & kitchenware, tools, clothes,
shoes & accessories, books, CDs & DVDs, small electrical items
and small items of furniture
Volunteering
Our
volunteers are key to Action 21’s continuing success. Volunteering is a
great way to meet new people and develop new skills. So, why not join the
team?
Sherbourne Recycling Centre, Coventry
Louise (General Manager) and Nikki (volunteer) had a tour around a new centre which is now processing all our kerbside recycling.
Sustainability values:
- Nothing is sent overseas. Once sorted, the materials are redistributed to UK companies to be processed for re-use.
- 100% of the energy used is renewable, coming from photovoltaic cells and the neighbouring Energy from Waste (EfW) plant.

This is the final part (4) in a series of blogs for Action 21. Part 1 was about how Covid had made Action 21 think about its role within the community. Part 2 is the story of Action 21 and its link to Agenda 21, the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit goals on environmental protection and sustainability. Part 3, outlines how people discount uncomfortable truths and how this can relate to climate science denial. This final part looks at the second two levels of discounting where we know there’s a problem but we feel unable to do anything.
