Live Sustainably

Nafford Junction Helping You Live Sustainably icon

Living a sustainable life. Think; reducing energy, water, and waste; making your own products such as soap, shampoo, and kitchen cleaner; using natural products to wash clothes; using ethical banks; investing in sustainable pension funds; buying from sustainable businesses; learning the benefits of the circular economy; and living in a way that promotes regeneration and gives back more than you take. This is aimed at helping climate change, reducing our impact on the planet, being more self-sufficient, and leading a healthier and happier life.

As well as Live Sustainably you can also go to Grow Sustainably and Eat Sustainably.
