Looking for information on becoming carbon neutral, how to build a sustainable house (and where to go for information to help?) organic clothing, delicious organic food, clean energy resources, an organic farm, a sustainable community or eco products?

Welcome to the Sustainable Living Directory

Most of us are acutely aware that just by living and by doing business, we impact our planet. Despite our best efforts to tread lightly and responsibly on this earth, fossil fuels are burned, trees and habitats are destroyed, landfills are overflowing, and toxic pollutants are created simply as a result of our day-to-day life.

We believe that, given the chance, most everyone truly wants to make a positive contribution to their families, friends, themselves, and the world. The Sustainable Living Directory was created to give people green resources and tools for making positive contributions.

Sustainability: To meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sometimes this is referred to as 'green'

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Even the smallest of 'green' actions can make a difference. Simple changes like not using your car on a short journey, not leaving the water on while brushing your teeth, buying fresh produce from local growers or growing your own are just a few ways that we can all make a difference.

You can send a loud message by where you spend your money. By visiting the green vendors and using the resources listed in the Sustainable Living Directory you will be helping to keep local workers providing for their families by providing support to local economic structures. You will keep the cost of so many products down by buying them directly from their creators.

Here is some more information and advice on the many easy ways you can do your bit – however small!

Respecting the environment is not just about protecting your local area, it is also about enjoying what it has to offer. Support your local producers and BUY LOCAL! And if you can't buy local, then support green business and free trade.
