Green Side Hustle Project

The Morecambe Bay Curriculum, Further Education Working Group are proud to Present: The Green Side Hustle Project!

Morecambe Bay is a unique and beautiful place. It's also changing rapidly due to new green tech, new organisations like the Eden Project, as well as ecologically due to climate-change and adaptation practices. The changes are a challenge but also an opportunity for entrepreneurs and businesses.
