Pledge to take eight GREEN steps with us, one at a time or all at once!
Repair
Don’t replace, keep products for at least seven years. We run the Horsham Repair Cafe or find another one in Sussex here or somewhere else in the World here.
Retro clothes
Buy local preloved in charity shops, Depop, Vinted etc., maximum of three new items a year if you must.
Rent
Books, clothes, cloth nappies, toys and tool libraries, & cars – Co-Wheels community car sharing are great!
Refill and reduce
Don’t replace and recycle, refill – food, coffee cups, water bottle, personal hygiene and household cleaning bottles. Even better ‘give dry a try’ by purchasing concentrates – shampoo, conditioner and kitchen bare bars, laundry sheets etc and add the water at home! Learn more here.
Reduce/refuse to fly
Ideally we need to reduce to a maximum one flight every three years or at least reduce the number of flights you are currently taking.
Eat green
Ideally eat loose, local and in season fruit and vegetables. Preferably remove beef and dairy from your diet. At minimum have a meat free Monday each week. No food waste and compost at home.
Plant for the pollinators
Choose plants for ALL seasons, starting with snowdrops, primroses – choose organic bulbs and seeds. Let an area of the garden go WILD. No mow May.
