Sustainable Living Information

Sustainable Living Education Trust gathers and provides useful information for action - the practical stuff in NZ that you need to know to do ya bit or make a difference. We start with free actions, then small investments that pay for themselves (such as energy efficiency) and on then to the bigger challenges that you will have opportunity to tackle less often, such as when moving home, changing a vehicle or domestic appliances, renovating a house and making travel decisions.

What's your footprint?

We can help you to understand and record your carbon footprint, in partnership with CarbonZero, and to measure other aspects of your environmental footprint whilst thinking about your wider wellbeing.

Specific question?

If you know exactly what you are seeking on an aspect of sustainability, try a keyword or phrase in our site search engine (top right of the page) or go to the issues or actions pages to get free information grouped by topic as pdf files. If that does not provide ready answers, you are welcome to write - use the comment section of our registration page.

The scope for action at home?

If you'd like a look around our house to see what actions can be taken in different parts, you're welcome to explore and will find you can get to our informative pdfs by that route too.
