'Eco-plans' fallen by the wayside over the summer?
Feel like you need a re-boot?
Prefer September for making changes and resolutions to the traditional January 1st?

Come and join us on a (virtual) (eco) tour!
The re-boot or kick start you need to go from wanting to be a bit greener and feeling guilty, to actually making some easy changes.
Come and jump aboard the Big Green Fun Bus* for 5 days of 80's cheese on the bus radio**, all the snacks, tea on tap, maybe even a cheeky G&T***, and a magical mystery tour that will see your slash your carbon footprint!

Wave your little darlings back off to school (or not, if you don't have little darlings, or your little darlings aren't so little anymore), ignore the post holidays state of the house, drag along your bestie, and take the first steps from eco-worrier to eco-warrior (mung beans not necessary...).

* there is no actual tour - it's all online. There's no big green fun bus, only a brilliant FB group where we can all pretend we're footloose and fancy free.
** you'll have to supply your own tunes, but I will be taking requests for a playlist...
*** you'll have to provide your own snacks, tea, and as many cheeky G&T's as you can handle.
This is all a hilarious analogy for spending 5 days taking some easy eco action....

The tour bus departs on Monday 12th September at 9am sharp!

We'll spend 5 days together aboard the Big Green Fun Bus (Facebook group) on a magical mystery tour - your itinerary for each day will be released at 8am that morning, just after our continental breakfast at the overnight stop, and before we climb back on board the bus for another (eco) action packed day...

Each day there'll be a series of optional tasks to do, and points to be won!
And points mean.... absolutely fuck all! Other than the glory of topping the league table and running up and down the central aisle of the bus calling everyone else losers. But there might be spot prizes, so don't get complacent if the lure of the leaderboard isn't enough to urge you into action.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...

You're a closet eco-worrier quietly shitting yourself about the state of the planet we're leaving for our kids
You're 'eco-curious' - you feel like you should be doing something to fight the climate crisis, but you're just not sure where to start or what (if anything) will actually make a difference
You've got a reusable coffee cup, but you usually forget to take it with you
You wander how the chuff other people find the time and money to take eco-action
There's a little (or a large) bit of you that feels like you can't make a difference, and you struggle to see how your individual actions can be any more effective than wafting a tea towel at a housefire
You're not sure you're quite ready to be 'full-on green' and if you'd suit dreadlocks

THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF...

You've been doing 'green stuff' for a while and you feel like you've nailed the basics
You knock out a mean homemade beeswax wrap, and you've been making your own yoghurt for the last few years
You've mastered knitting with lentils
You're a stalwart of your local XR group
You object to a bit of potty mouth humour, and the odd F-bomb

If you're already on the greener end of the spectrum, you're more than welcome to still join the big green fun bus, but you might find that you've already 'been there and done that' (if I could give you a t-shirt I would, because you're clearly doing awesome things, thank you!) and there's nothing new for you to see and do on the tour.

Having said that, it's going to be a shed-load of fun, and a great way to connect with fellow knackered mums who want to do their bit! Just please don't leave us a bad review on Trip Advisor* if you find you've been forced to over-indulge in snacks and gin as the scheduled activities haven't been for you.

* We're not on Trip Advisor. There is no actual trip.

FAQs

1. Do I have to be knackered?

No, but if you're not, you may be invited up to the front of the bus as some point during the duration of the tour to share your secrets with the rest of us.

2. Is there actually a bus?

No. It's all online. Grab your ticket (sign up) and you'll get an e-mail with all the details of how to join the FB group, and everything else to you need.

3. Why do you keep banging on about the bloody bus if there is no bus?

In my head it's an amusing analogy, and who among us isn't craving 5 days away from the kids, the housework and other responsibilities, 'on tour' with our besties?

4. If there is no bus, and we're not actually on tour, what will actually be doing?

Once you sign up, you'll be invited into the FB group where you'll find a group of brilliant, but probably slightly knackered, ordinary people like you, who want to 'do their bit' for the planet, and their kids futures, but who aren't really sure what to do, where to start, or if they can really make a difference.
Each day, there will be three 'activities', which can be completed from the comfort of your own home. They're all carefully chosen to be short on time, and big on impact, so you get the best bang for your buck. There are points awarded for each activity completed, and we'll be measuring our carbon footprints before and after the challenge.

5. How much does it cost?

Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

6. What if I want to continue the journey after the tour finishes?

I hope you do! I'll share with you all the Sustainable(ish) resources at your fingertips to help you carry on making a difference, including The Sustainable(ish) Clubhouse!
