Devon County Council

Making Devon greener is a theme that spans the breadth of our strategic plan. We have a duty to protect the environment not only for today’s residents and visitors but also to ensure the well-being and quality of life of future generations. Our aim, with your help, is to make Devon England’s greenest county.

We will do this by:

• considering the environmental implications of all our policies and decisions and ensuring that everything we do helps to maintain Devon’s high quality of life, landscape and biodiversity;   
• setting a good example to others by using energy and water more efficiently, reducing waste, and pursuing a strategy to combat global warming by promoting renewable energy generation and reducing our carbon footprint;
• promoting best practice among other Devon organisations, schools and businesses in our role as a commissioner of services, planner, regulator and community leader;
• encouraging the people of Devon and our own staff to play their part in helping to make Devon England’s greenest county.
