Hi
I live in Lincolnshire in the UK, near a little market town called Boston that some of you may have heard of. I would love to connect with other people from the UK doing the challenge. I live in the countryside on a smallholding. We have solar thermal and solar PV panels. Grow some fruit and veg. I have a green living blog. I love the idea of promoting Drawdown actions, as there is so much information about climate change but not enough people talk about the practical actions that everyone could do. For me living in rural Lincolnshire I rely on my car and can't afford an electric car. But I can afford to donate to a charity that plants trees or supports educating girls and I do buy my energy from a renewable energy supplier.
I look forward to getting to know more people during the challenge. Jackie
