Planet Woking is on a mission to address climate change and sustainability locally. We want to engage local residents and enable them to play their part in enhancing the sustainability of the Borough. One of the ways we do this is by signposting to green themed information and resources, like the books mentioned here.

Those of us who have been long-time The Great British Bake Off watchers may remember when Nancy Birtwhistle lifted the cake stand trophy in 2014. But did you know that as well as being one of Britain’s best bakers, Nancy is also a passionate eco-warrior?

In the years since her success in the tent, Nancy has been hard at work collecting and collating hundreds of hints and tips to help everyone live in a more environmentally conscious way. Her ideas have been published in two books which will help you get started on your journey to green living. They also make excellent Christmas presents!

From recipes for homemade all-purpose cleaners, to upcycling hacks and even recipes from a Bake Off champion, the books will make your home more eco-friendly and save you some time and money in the process.
