Welcome to National Trust Green Living

The National Trust cares for heritage, property and green spaces 'For Ever, For Everyone'. As part of this we are working hard to reduce our environmental impact.

At its simplest we are talking about living lightly: running our homes, eating, shopping, travelling and enjoying ourselves in a better way.

The actions of individuals are responsible for over 40 per cent of the UK’s carbon footprint. We all have an opportunity to reduce the impacts we have on climate change through the choices we make in our lives.

We want to share some of the lessons we have learnt from the past and the present as well as hearing about what you are doing. On the following pages you’ll find stories, film clips, quizzes and ideas on what you can do to live more lightly. Every action counts and we can all really make a difference.
