Welcome to It's Your Future, Summer 2005
 

Welcome to Action for Sustainable Living’s first Newsletter, our quarterly digest of news, views and gossip on the sustainability front.

It’s now just over a year since Anna O’Sullivan (the ‘Green Guru’ much beloved by the South Reporter!!) hit the streets of Chorlton. To give you just a flavour of what she has been involved in during that time –

• Assisted in getting Chorlton Fair Trade status – see below
• Supported over 250 individuals to lead more sustainable lifestyles through home visits
• Organised group activities attended by 350 people
• Helped set up a recycling centre in Chorlton Water Park
• Worked with two schools and involved 700 pupils in litter and Fair Trade exercises
• Regularly appeared in local papers and contributed a column to one of them

That kind of track record is one reason why AfSL was awarded a Defra grant of £150,000 over three years, which has allowed us to appoint two new Sustainability Consultants –

• Hulme – Josh Steiner
• Old Trafford – Claire Wheeler

and begin the task of assisting two very different communities to live more sustainably. We look forward to bringing you their good news stories over the coming months.
