What little or humongous things do you do, to be environmentally considerate?
Recently, a member of a group posted “I’d love to know what changes you’re making in your home / life to help better the planet. I’d love to make changes too so a little push from those who are already making a change will really help.“

A couple of months ago, we stayed in Goring-by-Sea for a few days. It was one of those holidays that involved lounging around, hanging out, playing games, going for walks and eating in. However, we ate out on a couple of occasions and those meals were awesome! Vegan options truly are everywhere! :)

Read MoreOrganising a training day and ensuring that all dietary requirements are catered for
Is there anything hugely difficult about organising an event if the venue provides catering?
I used to do some work for a local branch of the National Union of Teachers and one of the roles included organising training events. We provided a meal during training days and snacks for other events, such as, meetings after school.
To ensure that everyone was catered for, and so we were aware of allergies, I'd ask those who registered, if they had any dietary requirements. Unfortunately, sometimes I'd wished I hadn't!
