On owning an eco pet by John Thompson (first published in West Sussex County Times)

16 December 2021/in Eco News, Health and wellbeing, Seasonal celebrations/by Marianne Lindfield

As the time of seasonal exchange of presents approaches, many people may be considering gifting an animal. The number of dogs and cats in the UK has shot up to 12 million of each. They undoubtedly make great pets and bring enormous pleasure but these large numbers bring difficulties as well as delights. The […]

The Mystery by Clive Cobie (first published in West Sussex County Times)

11 December 2021/in Biodiversity & Nature, Climate change, Eco News, Ecology/by Marianne Lindfield

Beneath our feet is a world that many do not even consider to be part of us, yet within two handfuls of healthy soil are more living organisms than people on our planet. It is within the first four inches that most food chains start; at the microscopic levels, bacteria eating protozoa and nematodes. These […]

Sussex Green Living’s Youth Eco Forum is a young persons’ environmental group where we speak about current news and creatively demonstrate climate activism in many forms.

The UK’s recent petrol crisis was caused by many individuals doing the same thing at the same time. Due to media stories, people’s behaviour suddenly changed, causing nationwide problems. When I commented to the attendant, “I bet you’ve been popular these last few days”, he replied, “Yes, I’m everybody’s best friend! It’s madness. We’ve […]

Local Locations for TerraCycle® recycling single use plastics “The bins are ready and labelled. All bags (canvas for mixed recycling and large 300 litre black sacks for the crisps and snacks) are ready to go. I’ll bring them down on my way to The Horsham and Shipley Community Project to save an extra car journey.” […]

Soil or Earth? by Morag Warrack (first published in West Sussex County Times)

14 November 2021/in Eco News/by Marianne Lindfield

Soil or Earth? The very name of our planet is also the name of our soil. Earth. One of the most precious things for our existence. It’s an apparently strange mixture of living beings and dead ones, inert substances and active ones. Anyone over the age of 50 is likely to remember the abundance, […]

We should all be gardeners by Natasha Barnes (first published in West Sussex County Times)

9 November 2021/in Eco News/by Marianne Lindfield

Gardening is for everyone – I truly believe that! It’s time to change its reputation as a middle class hobby for retirees or young people who would like a pet but don’t fancy finding poo on the carpet- so they settle for a cheese plant. From some pots on a balcony to an ambitious permaculture […]

Turn it off! By Morag Warrack (first published in West Sussex County Times)

28 October 2021/in Climate change, Eco News/by Marianne Lindfield

I found myself in the role of Light-Police recently at a joyous family gathering to celebrate several ‘zero’ birthdays which had been postponed due to Covid. At our beautiful AirBnB, bathroom lights, shower lights, bedroom lights, corridor lights and kitchen lights were left on even though the family were all outside for much of the […]
