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 


REGENERATION PRACTICES
Marie Condo - Look at your daily life - tackle one room at a time 

Quote: 
Not about one person doing it perfectly, it’s millions of people doing it imperfectly

Share on whatsapp - Try and have those difficult conversations with people who you know are not aware of their environmental impacts.
