Our workshops are proving as popular as ever so we have decided to run a term 4 course to bring you even more practical skills and information on gardening, electricity savings, new shopping and travel choices, warmer houses and reducing waste. Take up the challenge of reducing your carbon footprint and join our sustainable living workshops.
“I’ve made some simple changes that have so many flow on effects ... like walking the kids to school saves us money, teaches them about road safety, is more time spent together and keeps all of us fit!”
