As Tracey Smith’s campaign for the 2nd annual Downshifting Week reaches its goal, she has launched the new 12 month Downshifting Planner to help us on our way in simplifying our lives to save money and the planet. You can download the calender and print it out to keep track of money saved and green ideas fulfilled.

National Downshifting Week runs from Saturday 22nd April to Friday 28th April 2006 and encourages the nation to slow down and green up. Tracey suggests small changes that you can make like cooking a meal from scratch using locally produced organic ingredients, cutting up a credit card, and many more.

Tracey Smith is a finalist in the ITV Eco-Hero Awards and the winner will be announced next week, so keep an eye out for her on the ITV National News.
