Ecojam Information

Ecojam is an online jamboree of all things green and ethical in your local area. Visitors tune into local news and events, discover local green businesses and initiatives, search for ethical jobs and volunteer opportunities, and find or donate free, unwanted household items. Our aims are simple yet ambitious. We hope to get more people involved in their local green scene, and promote and connect green activities in cities and counties across the UK. Ecojam began in Bristol in 2008, but is now growing into a national network of local green hubs. Ecojam emerged out of a series of ‘sustainability cafés’ organised by the University of Bristol, which involved 300 participants discussing how to make Bristol sustainable. Ecojam was developed to continue the sharing of ideas and news online. Before long, Ecojam became the most active sustainability network in Bristol, with almost 5000 members, an incredible 300+ events and 250+ jobs posted each year, and over 800 organisations in the directory. Ecojam is now turning to the next chapter in its story: a brand new website and look, and a big idea to bring Ecojam to communities across the UK.
