Reduce and Reuse – A More Sustainable Lifestyle

While awareness of the environment has greatly increased, sometimes we are overwhelmed by the scale of the difficulties confronting us and confused as to who or what to believe.

If we leave science to one side, there is no doubt that as human beings, we impact on the world around us from the minute we are born.  We become ‘consumers’ and it is this consumption of resources which ultimately causes problems.  We can learn to live simpler lives and make less impact on our shared planet.

This course of action is open to people of all ages and starts at home, the best place to make changes, which will create a more sustainable and fairer society.  Remember, your actions in Ballymoney can impact on people across the world.  This is certain but you have to decide whether this impact is going to be positive or negative.

Ballymoney Borough Council wants to encourage all its citizens, regardless of age, to take decisions which will make our community and world a better place.  The following documents provide some information and ways to take action.

If you require any further information or support or would like to make sustainable changes in your home, school, workplace or voluntary group, please contact Borough Services on 028 2766 0257.
