• Sue Riddlestone, Executive Director of BioRegional

  "Achieving one planet living is the challenge of our time. If everyone in the World lived like us Brits we'd need 3 planets worth of resources to support us. Most people know that we have to take action but don't like the idea of having to cut back or go without. "What we have found through our real-life sustainable communities and products is that it's more about being efficient and developing new ways of doing things. People are happier living a 'one planet' life. A sustainable future is nothing to be afraid of, but something we can all look forward to. We are delighted that B&Q has stepped up to the mark and said, 'we will do it and we will help our customers to do it too'."
