Positive actions and solutions for everyday life to make green living and working the norm.

Sussex Green Living is a small charity making a big impact! Since 2012 we’ve been on a mission to educate, inspire and empower the people of Sussex (and beyond!) to live in greater harmony with the natural world. Tackling the climate crisis requires as many people as possible to act now – and we believe no-one is too small to make a difference.

Our work is creating a wave of change across Sussex by supporting and inspiring people to reduce their environmental impact through shopping more sustainably, reducing waste, recycling single-use plastics and repairing rather than buying new.

We are a CIO – Charity No. 1189569 CIO and registered with the Funding Regulator.
