Green Team
Deben Rotaract has a long history of supporting environmental issues by raising money for the Suffolk Wildlife Trust and the Diana Fossey Gorilla Foundation. But in 2008 we decided to increase our contributions towards improving the environment by forming our Green Team. The Green Team has been set up to support Suffolk's ambition of Creating the Greenest County and is engaging at a local level to improve Suffolk's environment through voluteering and sponsoring local environmental initiatives.
Since 2008 the Green Team has undertaken the following:
