Less is more Cessnock - Sustainability Pledges
A community space for people doing their bit to avoid waste and change the world, one pledge at a time.
Pledge
You can pledge to either reduce your food waste, use of single use plastics, furniture waste or textile waste. Or pledge to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. Under each pledge there are a range of actions you can choose in order to meet your pledge. Don’t try and do them all at once. Pick one or two actions, implement these and when they are habitual, come back and choose another one or two actions. Do it in your own time and enjoy the benefits of becoming more sustainable.
