Local Stories

As community members it’s important to focus on solutions to counteract climate change in the home, your community, your work, when shopping, at the polling booth and in every part of your life you have control over.

So we… grow food, compost /worm farm. Preserve, ferment, pickle, dry or share excess produce. Say NO to plastic – use beeswax wraps, mesh produce bags, bar soap and shampoo. Installed solar panels, changed to LED lights and use solar / battery/timer for security lighting. Walk or cycle for shopping, exercise and leisure. Have acquired a hybrid vehicle and have a heat pump for water and heating on our wish-list. Do laundry only when dirty and line dry. There are many local second-hand shops for clothes/books etc. to encourage conscious consuming.

We can change the system as we individuals ARE the system.
