Community Action for a Sustainable Scotland Resource Launched

CASS resourcesCommunity Action for a Sustainable Scotland (CASS) is a set of 7 educational resources on sustainable development for community organisations in Scotland. Just launched by SCDC, the resources were adapted from material produced as part of the Every Action Counts programme in England, which aimed to embed sustainable development into the work of community groups.

The seven resources are aimed at community projects and groups, and offer advice ranging from how to develop a sustainability plan to simple tips for recycling and saving energy. The resources support both large and small scale community organisations to carry out their activities in ways which protect the environment without impacting on efficiencies and which ensure greater levels of sustainability for the longer term.
