June 2024

Let's reconnect with the natural world by keeping our drives and gardens nature friendly. Even small areas with insect friendly plants can create nature corridors, allow water drainage and reverse species decline.

Plane flights emit 5 times more carbon dioxide per person than train journeys.
Let the train take the strain!

Why not shop local for second hand goods and clothes rather than shopping online for the 'newest model'? Let's reduce, reuse and recycle!

Recycling is absolutely vital for dealing with waste, but first, let's;-
REDUCE buy less
REUSE avoid single-use items
REPAIR don't bin it, fix it
RENT, BORROW and SHARE
RECYCLE as a last resort

Plastic finds its way into every corner of our lives and vast quantities pollute our world. Governments and big brands need to take action, but there are affordable swaps we can all make to reduce our own plastic footprints:-
- carry a reusable bottle and coffee cup
- refill containers
- buy loose fruit and veg
- get our milk delivered
- take our own shopping bags

Want to stop using fossil fuel to power your home and start using green energy?
Fossil fuelled electricity is a big emitter of carbon dioxide. Wind power can replace much of this.
The UK produces 26% of its electricity from wind compared to Denmark which produces 54% and sells its electricity to neighbouring countries. Wales could do the same.

Plant based diets relying on locally sourced and seasonal produce are healthier and have a lower environmental impact.

The UK's big banks are making financing decisions that cause harm to nature and to our global neighbours.
Move away from bank that funds planet-destroying fossil fuels to one that helps shape a greener future.
