  • Food

    Take a trip to your local Farmers' MarketHelp

    A farmers' market is one in which local farmers or producers sell their own produce. All products sold should have been grown, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked, smoked or processed by the stallholder. FARMA, the National Farmers' Retail & Markets Association, independently assesses and certifies the markets so you can be confident you are supporting your local community and economy, and reducing your food miles.

  • Travel

    Take fewer but longer holidays

    Invest in a smart meterHelp

    Did you know: Smart meters act like hi-tech energy 'clocks' and, at any point in time, they will let you read how much electricity you are using. They also allow you to find out which activities and appliances in your home use the most electricity and will let you use that information to reduce your use, saving money. And if you have microgeneration capabilities at home - like PV solar panels - which are generating more electricity than you are using, the meter will tell you how much money you could make by selling the excess power back to the Grid!

  • Stuff

    Hire, don't buy, power tools if you can't borrow them


After all this, Sunshine will have a footprint of 2.80 planets, and a carbon footprint of 16.46 tonnes per annum
