Why we need this book

Autumn is a special time of year, when the heat and daylight slowly fade and the cooler darker nights bring freshness and calm. It’s when we can harvest, appreciate, and get ready.

This workbook is filled with practical and easy ways to create an Eco Autumn, supporting you to move towards a sustainable, frugal and environmentally friendly life.

We have split the book into 5 practical sections, each with 5 ideas – something to suit everyone.

What is in the book?

Here are just some of the ideas and activities in Eco-Friendly Autumn

Use it / Sort it
