South East Forum For Sustainability

SEFS is committed to helping the South East change it’s habits to ensure we create a more sustainable region that uses less of the planet’s resources. To this end, we’re continuing our focus of 5 key areas where we can all make a difference; food, transport, waste, energy and water.

This month we recommend you take a look at the Eat Seasonably website. Eating seasonal food can help reduce the cost of your groceries. It is also easier on the environment to produce. The website has lots of tips and advice on what is in season, as well as how to cook and grow stuff.

Septembers delicacies include courgettes and runner beans. You can also check out the Greener Transport section of this website and take the kids (and some empty plastic boxes) on a healthy walk or cycle to hunt down sweet blackberries in the hedgerows.
