That’s true 😂 but our whole lifestyle (apart from the petrol lol) is pretty sustainable and we don’t leave much of a negative footprint (for example, we use wayyy less water living in a van as well as less power for heating and stuff 😊) We’re raising money for CatZero – a sail training charity that transforms the lives of young people in need. Look into them – they are AMAZING.
