A group of ordinary people
trying to make St Albans District
a more environmentally sustainable place to live.
What we do
We are Sustainable St Albans charity. Together, as ordinary people, we find positive and creative ways to act locally – across St Albans, Harpenden and villages – to raise awareness and address the challenges of climate change, live more sustainably, and move towards a low-carbon economy.
Sustainable St Albans is a member of the UK-wide Transition Network.
