We want to help you learn about…
Sustainable Living
Living sustainably is good for the planet, our pocket, and our wellbeing.
Living more sustainably involves taking care with our choices to help protect our future. It promotes a local circular economy enabling a culture of reducing, reusing and repairing. It embraces the use of renewable energy and cleaner energy options to help us reach our net-zero emissions goals. This is good for the planet, our finances, and our wellbeing. We promote and provide opportunities to develop skills and knowledge to help us make good choices for ourselves and the environment.
Did you know…
4/5th of Scotland’s carbon emissions are caused by the heat and energy required to grow, make, process, transport and provide goods and materials?
