Roger has over 25 years’ experience of campaigning on environmental issues, including locally nationally and internationally on issues as diverse as climate change, biodiversity, economics and society.

How the Share Shed in the UK is Building Community
The Network of Wellbeing with support from the Big Lottery Fund helped launch the Share Shed Totnes in Devon, U.K., this year. It acts as a “library of things,” a place where people can borrow tools and other equipment that they need. These are all things that people might not be able to afford or want to buy.
