Some useful links to external sites

---

There are so many different websites out there that it's hard to know where to look and what to read. It can all be a little daunting at times. Is zero waste shopping the way forward? Is it too late? Will anything make a difference. The way we see it is that just doing a little bit is good. No one is perfect and every little bit helps. If everyone makes a little change to their lives then it all adds up. 

Have a little look at the links below and see how easy it is to do something small.

The Repair Café movement is a reaction to today's throw-away mentality. Bring a broken item to the café and volunteers will help you mend it, advise on repair or explain why it can't be fixed. It's a social way of keeping good stuff out of landfill. The café bit is important, have a coffee and some cake whilst waiting!
