A NEW guide has been produced to encourage Wyre Forest organisations to go green.

Wyre Forest District Council's booklet is entitled Green Guide for Small Organisations.

The guide has been produced in response to a survey, which revealed that smaller and voluntary organisations would welcome information on reducing their environmental impact.

It gives pointers to reducing waste, saving water, attracting wildlife and cutting energy waste.

A council spokesman said: "Making an effort to reduce your organisation's environmental impact may save money and is an act of citizenship."
