We all know we need to live lower carbon lives
and take better care of our environment
Let's do it while saving money and cramming in as much joy as possible!
On The Day
Who would have thought that the prospect of ‘giving up stuff’ could be the cause of so much joy! But it turns out that was what was happened at the launch of Nifty & Thrifty at the Connect Centre on July 16th.
With a range of local organisations showing different aspects of low carbon, low waste ways of living the Nifty and Thrifty organisers launched not just this website but the first set of ‘hacks’ for people to use at home - you'll find them under the 'instructables' tab.
If that wasn’t enough, a visit from Frome Community Fridge provided the inspiration for members of the Nifty team to take up the baton on behalf of a Wells Community Fridge. ‘It was fantastic to hear just what a difference Frome Community Fridge is making’, commented Rachel Humphries from the Nifty team, ‘
It turns out that there are Community Fridges across Mendip but not one in Wells ! Given that Wells is such a Community minded place it would be great to see if there is the enthusiasm for one here … particularly in the current circumstances. Look out for news in the next issue of Wells Voice or just email niftywells@gmail.com to register your interest !’
