4 sustainable activities in Sutton
Library of Things was founded by three women, who wanted to put a stop to wasteful consumerism - reducing the amount of poorly produced and unwanted items that are unnecessarily purchased and end up in landfill.
We started as a grassroots community project in West Norwood in 2015 where a group of neighbours came together to run an experiment to see if people would share items. Which is why we’re so passionate about sharing sustainable ways that you can get involved in your community.
