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.

In 2024 we launched our Green Business Network (GBN), this partnership opportunity provides awareness, education and initiatives to encourage employees to take action in the workplace and at home. In parallel with the GBN we launched our Pollination Education Station (PES) Trail. PES are functional eco art which are helping to join up the dots for nature, educating people about protecting the environment while boosting ecology diversity.
