Our goal is simple: to help people live greener, healthier, more connected lives.
Sussex Green Living educates and connects people with practical solutions and lifestyle changes to live sustainably, reducing resource consumption, the carbon footprint and negative ecological impact on the planet. We believe real change for the planet happens when people come together and everyday choices add up.
Our three pillars
Restoring Biodiversity
Across Sussex, large-scale nature recovery projects are taking shape, from Horsham Green Spaces Wildways and Wilder Horsham District to the Weald to Waves corridor linking the High Weald to the coast, Sussex Kelp Recovery Project to Sussex Bay. Together these initiatives are redefining how we think about land, water and wildlife. But lasting change also depends on what happens closer to home, in the places where people learn, work and live. This is where Sussex Green Living’s work in schools and our Pollination Education Stations (PES) Trail come
Sustainable Food
By encouraging sustainable food production and consumption, we can reduce environmental damage, support communities and help ensure a reliable local food supply for the future. Growing our own food at home already provides many benefits such as healthy food, zero transportation miles, no packaging, no chemicals, using compost to plant and more. Sussex Green Living, thanks to a National Lottery grant has started a Growing Hub where people can find everything they need to start growing food for free. Our work on this topic in schools is starting a grow your own community revolution.
Conserving Resources
Conserving resources sits at the heart of everything Sussex Green Living does as many of the things we rely on, such as water, energy, forests, minerals, and fossil fuels, are limited or take a long time to replace. Running our once a month Sussex Green Hub is our way of supporting individuals conserving resources, enabling visitors to get broken items repaired, refill household product bottles, refilling Overherd oat powder and olive oil containers and providing advice and a drop off for hard-to-recycle materials. It is a space for learning, connection and action.
