GREEN LIFESTYLE

Understanding how to live sustainably in a world that encourages us to work long hours to earn more to spend more on consumer goods is not easy. Spending more time with our children outdoors or to make sustainable choices for the home or what we eat requires us to question and even rebel against the corporate led consumer culture that has become the norm. Johor green wants to make sustainable lifestyle aspirational through our events and workshops and by gathering and disseminating information about resources and ideas on how to make those changes in the key areas of home, garden, what we eat and how we spend our leisure time.

In an increasingly urbanized environment, a home and garden that keeps us connected with nature and does the important job of  providing balance.
