The urban guide to almost self sufficiency |
|
The idea behind self-sufficientish-ism is although many of us would love to live on a farm, grow all our own food, brew pea pod wine, live the 'Good-Life'. Not all of us have the means the space or are perhaps unwilling to give it all up and suffer the highs and lows of going it alone on a smallholding.
Although total self-sufficiency is appealing the thought of giving up the little luxuries in life may not be. We aim to help reach as many people as posible and offer practicle advice.

Tree For All is a new kind of movement that gives children the chance to understand nature and the power to care for it |
|
It's about young people taking action today that will reap benefits for their children and grandchildren - a thriving landscape teeming with life.
The campaign aims to:
Plant 12 million trees throughout the UK between September 2004 and 2009 – that’s one tree planted for every child under 16. If all the trees were planted together they would fill 18,000 football pitches.
Involve one million children directly in planting trees through schools, community groups, public events or in their gardens.

We ask parents, pupils and teachers to think about their journey to and from school, and the many benefits of making it on foot |
|
Over 50% of children don't walk to school regularly, and more and more pupils are being driven to school in a car. This trend is contributing to reduced physical activity and increased childhood obesity, urban congestion and air pollution. Each year, we organise two nationally recognised events: National Walk to School Week (21 to 25 May 2007), and International Walk to School Month (October 2007)
