National Downshifting Week Gets a Facelift!


Tracey Smith with ITV's Mark AustinNow I'm really not the most technical tack in the toolbox (the Editor here will give testimony to that...), but I have somehow managed to give the website for my awareness campaign, National Downshifting Week, a major overhaul.

It's been driven by a deep determination to 'crack the uncrackable nut' and do my best to spread the important message about simple, green living.

I'm all set for this year's event, which will take place between Saturday the 19th and Friday the 25th April and I'm determined to keep my carbon footprint to an absolute minimum.

I will be stretching my film-making skills to the limit and shamelessly using YouTube to flaunt my green wares!

There's only one film on there at the moment, I shot it for Channel 5 News last year and it's my take on sustainable living and the work / life balance.  Do nip over and have a look and if you like it, (apparently) you can subscribe to my channel, so that when I upload the next one, you'll receive notification....don't ask me how you do it, I told you I'm technically challenged!

Anyway, do keep an eye out for the films - they are in production at the moment and they are going to be SMASHERS!
