In 2015, Pope Francis in his encyclical letter Laudate Si: 'care for our common home' called us to 'Live Simply so that others may simply live'.  ‘There is an urgent need for radical change in our conduct and the ill-considered exploitation of nature..we are called to: 'Live simply and sustainably in solidarity with the poor'.

Following on from the success of our Reverse Advent Calendar, during the Advent season and the great generosity of all who responded, the LiveSimply group would like to provide further ideas; roughly on a monthly(ish) basis.

They would like to begin their suggestions with the 6Rs of Sustainability.

Please follow the instructions below.
