Reading globe groups are voluntary groups which were set up in the mid-1990s by Reading Borough Council in Reading, Berkshire, England, following the undertaking of the Agenda 21 agreement by central government. GLOBE stands for Go Local On a Better Environment. An umbrella group, The Reading Globe Alliance (TREGA), facilitates exchange of information between the groups.

Famous quotes containing the words reading, globe and/or groups:
“With one day’s reading a man may have the key in his hands.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air.
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself—
Yea, all which it inherit—shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
