Steps towards Sustainability | A practical guide for Southland Businesses.  This guide is for small to medium sized enterprises who want to be more sustainable and resource efficient.   The guide is separated into three sections:

1.   Leap into Action - quick and easy actions that won't cost the earth

2.  Look then Leap - bigger projects to move on to

3.  Plan to sustain - taking a planned approach that will give the best results in the long run

Each section provides a checklist of options for energy, waste, water and green purchasing.  The guide also contains a list of useful contacts, websites and case studies.
