National Downshifting Week - 21st - 28th April
Posted: Wed Apr 11, 2007 10:48 am
I'm sure that Tracey will be along herself at some stage, but I thought I'd remind folk that the 3rd NDW is almost upon us. Read on for some tips on how to downshift in easy steps.

SLOW DOWN, GREEN UP AND STAY PUT!
The UK will soon be celebrating its 3rd National Downshifting Week; an awareness campaign spearheaded by sustainable living writer and broadcaster, Tracey Smith.
It takes place between Saturday 21st and Friday 27th April 2007and is designed to help participants slow down and lean towards the green.
Smith is breaking with tradition this year, by not touring the country to promote it!
Instead, she will be using her local radio and TV studios, video conferencing, the Internet, email and the phone to spread the good, green word.
She’s also harnessing the strength of the UK’s Hospital Radio community, a strong and shining example of volunteer energy, to help do it too. Tracey broadcasts ‘Slow Down and Green Up’ on Taunton Hospital’s Apple AM which has a rapidly expanding Internet audience.
She told us, “I’m promoting simple, green living and leaving as light a carbon-footprint as I can. I will be using public transport, Shanks’ pony and car sharing to get me to my destinations and if I physically can’t get somewhere, I’ll use another method to communicate my point!â€
