Environmentally Friendly Living

Sustainable development is about living a good life without damaging the environment for future generations and us. It is possible to solve most of our environmental issues. However, for it to happen everyone has to make an effort. It can be everything from taking the bicycle to work, use of public transport, buying locally produced food to harder international environmental laws. Everyone has to participate for a change to happen. The choices that you make today influence and shape the world we live in and the world future generations will live in.

We all have a choice, do you want to live in a polluted world or a clean and healthy world?

 

We all need to start to make some good decisions, it may only be small behavioural changes that are needed to make your ecological foot print much smaller.

 

The more people in the Epping Forest District that recycle, compost, car share and use public transport, etc. will help make our District a cleaner and healthier place to live in.
