About Scarborough Greenguide |
||||||||
|
The Scarborough Greenguide is a booklet published every six months with the aim of helping people within a twenty mile radius of Scarborough to live a greener lifestyle. It includes articles on subjects such as environmentally friendly travel, eating, gardening, recycling and alternative therapies. Sometimes it features local groups so that readers can learn of activities which they may join. The publication is supported by advertising and is available free to the public from libraries, health food shops, alternative therapists and various other shops in Scarborough, Whitby, Malton, Pickering, Filey and other places in the area. It usually comes out in mid-January and mid-July. If you are interested in advertising or submitting an article, or have any queries, contact the Editor | ||||||||
