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?

Borrowing isn’t just for books! 🔄

♻️ 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

🔄 Do you really need to own everything you use? From drills to sewing machines, the average household owns dozens of items we barely use, wasting money, resources, and carbon. Instead of buying new, borrowing helps us save money and cut waste.

Every time you choose local, you’re not just supporting farmers, you’re nourishing your community and helping create a healthier, more resilient food system.

✨ Fresh food. Stronger communities. A thriving planet.

Let’s set the record straight on local food!

Want to make a difference with what you eat? 🥦
Here’s your Local Food Action Checklist!

Every small action adds up. Your next meal can be good for you, your community, and the planet. 🌍

#ClimateAction #EatLocal #SustainableChoices

Did you know the average meal travels 1,500+ miles before it reaches your plate? Choosing food produced closer to home is one of the simplest ways to cut your carbon footprint — and it tastes better too!

Local where possible, nearby when necessary.

“You get food right, you get a lot of things right.”

Affordable, reliable public transport isn’t just a climate solution — it’s a fairness issue. When fares fall, ridership rises, congestion drops, and emissions shrink.

It’s time to make trains the obvious, accessible choice for everyone. 🌍

#PublicTransport #ClimateAction #FairFares #NetZero

Reliable, affordable, clean public transport is possible — and it starts with demand, good design, and fair funding. Share this to keep the conversation moving.
