Go Greener wants to do more to promote sustainable living.

We are looking for

NEW AND RE-ENTHUSED volunteers!

At some point in the past maybe at a local event, you gave your contact details to us. To ensure that you'd like to continue on the green journey with us and receive our newsletter, you don't need to do anything, you will officially be a FRIEND of Go Greener! But if you wish to unsubscribe, then do so by emailing us.

However, if you'd like to do more and can commit to becoming a full MEMBER, email us now so we can find out the best way to bring you on board! See the list at the end of this bulletin for some ideas about the kind of volunteers we are looking for.
