Questions & Answers from Becoming Carbon Neutral web workshop
Tuesday 28th April saw us run a very exciting interactive online workshop Becoming Carbon Neutral.

Your Health and Wellbeing
The sustainability of our planet is one of those at the top of our minds, and so it should be. But what about the sustainability of ourselves during these particularly stressful times?
One of the UK’s most popular holidays is almost upon us. Easter is rooted in our culture as a time for celebration and rebirth, with roots in Christianity and Paganism, and yet plays havoc on our personal and financial wellbeing (as well as our planet’s wellbeing).
We are going virtual!
We are living in interesting times, the likes of which we have never seen before.

Nearly 1/3 of all world food produced, is wasted. It’s easy to forget about the water, carbon and energy it takes, to bring fresh food to your table. 80% of the average UK food shop is thrown away, with meat, fish and milk are the commonly wasted foods.
