For those of us who wish to live more sustainable lives, there are many decisions to take:
-
How can we protect our beautiful South Hams environment?
-
Do we need that second car, or indeed do we need to use a car at all?
-
How great is our household’s ‘carbon footprint’, and how could we reduce our carbon emissions?
-
How can we avoid contributing to the consumer demand for food products that are supplied from distant sources, out of season and at the expense of hundreds of ‘food miles’?
-
How can we sensibly dispose of potentially poisonous or damaging household waste?
-
Can we meet the energy requirements of our homes from renewable sources, and if so, what are the options?
