On 1st August I began my WATERTIGHT Challenge. My aim is to spend 2 months living as if there is a severe water shortage. I hope to discover what life will be like over the coming decades as the impacts of climate change escalate... youtu.be/oQVVhBI-OLQ watertight.community/waterti…

Its a year since Kim @BadlyBehavedOne and I published The Climate Change Garden. Since then we've had one of the wettest autumns and winters & the warmest spring on record. Our book explores ways of making your garden more resilient. Signed copies here climatechangegarden.uk

Did you know?🤔 Water use accounts for 6% of UK greenhouse gas emissions – & 5% of this comes from energy used to heat water in the home. 😲 Save water to save energy & help save on your energy bill. 👍😁 YourWaterYourLife.co.uk #WaterIsAlwaysWorthSaving
