It's now the UK's 3rd National Downshifting Week!
The basic principle of downsizing and sustainable living is this; If you slow down, or downshift your way of life, then you'll automatically be improving the quality of your life, reduce stress, and also benefit the environment.
There's far more to it than my simplistic description, but it is explained far better in this free ebook (PDF) that you can download here (right click and select 'save target as' or similar).
The creator of the scheme was Tracey Smith, and the website can be found at: www.DownshiftingWeek.com if you'd like to know more, or take part.
There are lots of ideas on the site to help you and your family, your school, or even your company get the most from this week, so get on over there, take part, and support it!
