The Green Task Force is you, the residents of the city. You are
invited to join the Task Force and become the "eyes and ears" of
environmental activity in Brighton and Hove.
The Green Task Force completes Green Tasks. These take very
little time and will help give the city a cleaner, greener
future.
The information you share will be included in the The Green A -
Z which offers a comprehensive guide to reduce / re-use /
recycle opportunities in the city and The Green Diary
which offers an up-to-date listing of environmental events and
milestones.
We will add your name to The Green Task Force when you share
relevant information with us.
