We are a small group of people in coastal central Suffolk UK wanting to make our contribution to

the health of our planet. We have compiled four lists all of which can be downloaded at

Our Planet

Short Intro List (this list). Local Resource List similar but longer. General List with national and

international resources. How To Sheet with details of some of the ideas to make at home.

Please join us and bring ideas to the list. We aim to be non commercial and offer constructive,

practical, everyday actions. We aim to keep the list updated several times a year and distribute it

through email, personal networks, local groups, shops, local papers, social media. We try to stay

current and seek to be accurate but cannot guarantee either of these. Please help share the lists

around and help keep updated.
