We'd love to hear what you think about anything to do with sustainability. Something in the news caught your eye? Something you would like suggestions on? Some initiative you would like to get started in Market Harborough? Something you have seen that really annoys you? Or some helpful tips you would like to share. Then why not write us a blog?
Any Sustainable Harborough Community Member can write a blog for this website, and it's really easy.

You will receive an e.mail back from us once the necessary permissions have been set up (this may take a day or two)

Your blog will then need to be approved by our Administrator which should happen within 24 hours.

Some advice about writing blogs
The blog can be long or short, but needs to be about something relating to Sustainability
Check your facts, and quote sources where relevant
Add an image to make the blog more attractive

Some advice about use of images
Copyright laws relating to use of images are very strict, and are there to ensure that images are not used publicly without the knowledge and permission of the person who created the image
It may be easy to do, but you are not allowed to just copy any image you find on the internet and use it yourself
If you can, use an image that you have created yourself
Or, one created by someone you know who has given you permission to use it
Or go to a site that offers images that are copyright free (such as Pixabay or Pexels) and read the small print before downloading
If you use an image that is not copyright free, you may be liable for fines of several hundreds of pounds
