Living Smart
Final Week
Community
Thanks everyone for your fantastic participation through out the duration of the course. It really was a pleasure getting to know you, and learning from you as well during the course. I hope you feel inspired about sustainable changes you can make in your life!
Living Smart is an amazing course for making stronger connections in communities and helping like-minded people find one and other. So whenever you feel overwhelmed, discouraged, guilty or any other emotions around sustainable living,... Remember your not alone. You can tap into the many resources where the Living Smart Community continues. You also have the group that you just graduated with to lean on.
So as much as our lives will get busy and living smart will become a distant memory... stay in touch with one and other. The only way we can be more sustainable is if we do it together and support each other through the journey!
Here is a link to the Living Smart Facebook Group
and the Freo Living Smarties Group ( All welcome!)
I will be sending out an email for those interested in the Freo Living Smarties meet ups.
Below are some community resources and also some links to the Social Enterprise that I run, Feel free to get in touch with me for anything. I am always open for a coffee chat to talk sustainability ( in fact you won't be able to shut me up about it)!
Thanks again and all the best!
Jamie
