"We've stopped using the car so much and started getting some fresh air by walking and using our bikes.
It’s good exercise, less stressful without the traffic jams and parking and of course lots cheaper too!’

"We recycle like crazy – all the paper, cans and bottles we can’t reuse go into recycling bins and our food waste is composted.
And we try to buy stuff that isn’t covered in loads of packaging in the first place.
We have busy lives but it’s worth trying to do our bit for the environment, especially if it means that the kids will grow up in a happier world!’
