Reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable lifestyles in Uist

Welcome to the Sustainable Uist website!

Sustainable Uist is a community organisation formed in 2009 by a group of residents who were motivated to take action against climate change. Since then, the group has been successful in securing funding from the Climate Challenge Fund, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar and the BIG Lottery's Investing in Ideas Fund to undertake a range of carbon reduction projects.

Current projects include renewable energy studies, vegetable growing trials and education, development of a lift sharing scheme, improving energy efficiency of hard-to-treat houses and a local food project.

Please explore the site to find out more about what we are doing and how you could get involved.
