Donate don't dump!

Give your unwanted goods to charity or Freegle or Good Green Fun.

Choose to eat as much local and seasonal food as possible

Give gift vouchers as presents

Instead of giving a present which ends up in a drawer why not treat someone to a tasty meal in a local restaurant which uses locally sourced and seasonal ingredients or how about a cinema gift card from The Vue.

Give the tumble dryer a rest!

Why not try this innovative and low carbon way of drying your clothes outdoors all year round.
