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 and registered with the Funding Regulator.

Library of Things Survey

A penny for your thoughts (or a big thank you)! 

 

We are currently exploring whether a local ‘Library of Things’ could help people borrow useful items instead of buying them new.  

Could you please help us measure interest by taking a quick survey? It will take around 5 minutes: Library of Things Survey – take the survey 

Your feedback will help us understand what people would actually use, what barriers might exist and how a service could work best.  

If you could please share with your family, friends, contacts, that would be really helpful. The more responses we get, the better we can set this up. 

Thank you very much.

The survey is open until Monday June 29th.
