Pat Top Tips:

1.Think Twice - ASK Questions:
 -Do you really need it? Rethink you behaviour

- How and Where was it made - think local think regenerative


2. Bring Your Own : Did you know that 40% daily carbon footprint comes from our daily choices so why not bring your own items to make small changes together. 

3.Bathroom Routine - Mix it up -use natural products - Start with what you already own and make a small switch try a bar of soap.

4. Think LOCAL
