This June, Travelling Light brings you their very own 30 Day challenge! We’ll be posting an action you can take every day in June on our social media to help make the world a better place through low-carbon travel and transport. Will you take the challenge?
Here’s a preview of the 30 actions you could take this June:
Complete Commonplace and ask three other people to do the same
Put a summer community event in your diary
