A Year of Living Sustainably
On June 24th 2023 we published the first blog in our series A Year of Living Sustainably. Now, the year has ended but the ideas live on. 52 of them so if you’re looking for inspiration or ideas of things you could try, change, do more of or do less of to reduce your carbon footprint then scroll down and take your pick.
If you’d like to share your idea for sustainable living - just one small, accessible and inexpensive thing then we’d love for you to write to us and let us know. Just contact sustwells@gmail.com
