About A Green Heading

This is the story of our green heading – for beautiful green coasts and for a greener way of life. We would never claim to know exactly where and what that is, but we hope together we can learn and share about both. Through our journey and interests we aim to create a platform for sharing paths to a greener and more sustainable life through a fun approach full of adventure.
