Who are Friends of the Earth?

Friends of the Earth is one of the leading environmental pressure groups in the UK. We campaign and mobilise public opinion to persuade politicians and industry to take action - internationally, nationally and locally. Friends of the Earth is a positive force for change - not just opposing environmental abuse, but proposing constructive solutions. We work with all political parties, but are aligned to none. We have 260,000 supporters nationwide and many of us come together in a network of local groups across the country.

Thinking globally, acting locally

Chepstow and District Friends of the Earth was formed in 1992. We have around 15 members, of all ages and backgrounds. We meet informally on the second Tuesday of every month to discuss environmental issues and plan events. Please come along and join us at Chepstow Athletic, Mathern Road, Chepstow.  Our meetings start at 7:30 pm and last a couple of hours.

What we do

As well as supporting Friends of the Earth's national campaigns, we are campaigning locally on waste reduction/recycling, genetically modified organisms (GMO's), transport and trade justice/climate change.

• We are heavily involved with Monmouthshire Community Recycling, the not-for-profit company providing kerbside recycling in Monmouthshire.

• We are working to find an environmentally sustainable solution to Chepstow's traffic problems on the A48.

• We are part of the Operation Noah coalition working to combat climate change.
