Sustainable Lexmond for all questions about sustainability
Since this year, a working group has been active in Lexmond on the theme of sustainability. Mon Akkerman and Anouk Kersten are the driving force behind Duurzaam Lexmond (formerly Buurkracht Lexmond). This is part of Dorpsinitiatief Lexmond. They work together with other working groups on various themes in Lexmond. For example, the working group previously organized information evenings on purchasing a home battery, how to deal with rainwater, and how to save energy in your home.
In addition, a collaboration has started with Groene Weelde regarding after-school nature activities for primary school students in Lexmond. The working group is open to residents with questions or ideas about sustainability. We would also love to talk to you if you are interested in joining our team. You are very welcome!
