Baldock Beats Waste
We are a local group who are eager to encourage more commitment to the care of the environment. We can do this through more thoughtful use of materials like plastic and chemicals, and less waste. We all have a part to play.

Letchworth Garden Shed
Essentially, a library of things is a way to share more as a community. When people can borrow more, they can buy less - good for people, good for the planet.

Wyld Edges
“Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system”Bill Mollison, co-creator of permaculture.
