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 which can be downloaded at
– Short Intro List to introduce the idea of ideas and local resources, easy to print out and distribute
– Local Resource List similar but longer, for our own area which is IP15 IP16 IP17 (this list)
– 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.
Print / distribute the Short Local Resource List to your own contacts, local groups or classes.
We would welcome people to use any of the structure/format/ ideas/ information to collate their
own resource list for own locality.
