The most environmentally friendly product is the one you didn’t buy.” — Joshua Becker Would you borrow instead of buy if it were easier in your community? #BorrowDontBuy #Minimalism #SharingEconomy #ClimateAction #SustainableLiving

Borrowing isn’t just for books! 🔄 #BorrowDontBuy #SharingEconomy #SustainableLiving

♻️ Your Borrowing Action Plan — Save this! 🌿 Step 1: Borrow before you buy 🚗 Step 2: Share bigger items 🤝 Step 3: Start a sharing movement The fewer things we buy, the less we waste — and the more we save together. 🌍 #SustainableChoices #BorrowingIsBetter #ClimateAction

Rewilding isn’t just about remote nature reserves – it starts in our own neighbourhoods. From skipping the mow to supporting species reintroductions, small actions can unlock big benefits for people and the planet. 🌍🌼

Did you know? 🟢 Only 3% of the UK’s wildflower meadows remain — that’s a 97% loss since the 1930s. 🟢 The UK is ranked in the bottom 10% globally for biodiversity intactness. 🟢 Rewilded land can capture up to 10 times more carbon than intensively farmed land

Protecting and enhancing nature is a key part of tackling the climate and ecological emergency. Check out our Biodiversity section for actions councils are taking - including #NoMowMay and many more - councilclimatescorecards.uk/sections/s5_...
