The starting point for planning any journey is to know your destination. This vision statement helps to define where we want to go and forms the starting point for the Leicester Environment Strategy.
Leicester’s* Vision for a Better Environment
1. Leicester will have high awareness and understanding of local and global environment issues such that actively caring for the environment becomes second nature.
2. Leicester will have a clean and healthy environment, free from pollution to air, water and land.
3. Leicester will have widespread local amenities and all residents and workers will have a choice of convenient and non-polluting transport options.
4. Leicester will be highly efficient in its use of energy, water and resources, and ensure that what is used is sustainably produced without damaging the wider environment.
5. Leicester will minimise waste production and seek to reuse or recycle all that does occur.
6. Leicester will protect and enhance wildlife habitats in the city and ensure its actions have only positive impacts on wildlife in the wider world.
7. Leicester will ensure that everyone in the city can access, use and enjoy an attractive local environment.
