In September 2012 I decided it would be a 'fun' challenge to spend a year buying nothing new and dragged the rest of the family along for the ride. That year changed my life (cliche klaxon!) - not only how and where I shop, but how I see my place in the world. I learned that all of my actions make a difference, positive or negative, and that through getting informed, I could make different choices, create new habits, and have a more positive impact. Fast forward seven years and that simple blog that started life as My Make Do and Mend Year, is now Sustainable(ish), a CIC on a mission to make sustainable living the norm, break down the mung-bean eating, yoghurt weaving stereotypes of 'green living' and empower easy, simple actions for all. The ethos at Sustainable(ish) is that no change is too small, and the focus is on progress not 'eco-perfection'.The Sustainable(ish) online community is focussed around the 15k strong FB group, with free resources available via the Sustainable(ish) website and podcast. In 2019 I launched a pilot for Sustainable(ish) Communities, with local ambassadors reaching out to families, community groups, schools and local businesses to inspire and empower them to make some simple but impactful changes to help tackle the climate crisis.We're actively looking for corporate partners to work with our Sustainable(ish) Communities project, as well as providing employee engagement talks and workshops for your CSR.The Sustainable(ish) Living Guide is coming out in January 2020, published by Bloomsbury:"Easy, do-able, down to earth ideas and suggestions for everyone to help save the planet. If you want to save the planet, but your to-do list is already pretty long and remembering your re-usable coffee cup feels like a Herculean task, then this is the book for you.Change your impact without radically changing your life and figure out the small steps you can make that will add up to make a big difference (halo not included)."
