Household Action Challenge

So you've looked at your shopping list and are now making some best buys using the guide.
What's next? How about you and your community take on a challenge!

The Household Action Challenge is a 'Lifestyle Trial'- a community experiment in living out our values.
It's a week where your household, together with others, experiment in one aspect of sustainable living.

• What is it like to eat only food sourced from within 160km radius (100 Miles) from where you live?

• Or attempt to go zero waste (no black rubbish bag) for one week?

• Or live for 7 days without relying on electricity?

Hard by yourself, but easier with others. We've done an annual trial for the past two years and hope others will take them on and build up the database of resources available here.
