This Earth Day we want to showcase all the ways you can invest in our planet from joining rallies to organising local clean-ups, there are many ways you can get involved.

WHEN IS IT?

April 22nd - it’s the same day every year

WHAT IS IT?

Earth Day is an annual event on April 22nd to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It is now a global celebration of events focused on green living and confronting the climate crisis.

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?

Educate yourself (and others)

Environmental education raises awareness of issues impacting the environment, it helps us gather information on actions we can take to improve and sustain it.

Say no to plastic

Plastic is not only environmentally harmful to manufacture and dispose of, but it also takes an incredibly long time to degrade, with plastic pollution being one of the most important environmental issues facing us.

Plant trees

Trees are vital for life on Earth. As the biggest plants on the planet, they give us oxygen, store carbon, stabilise the soil and provide life and shelter to wildlife. You can now donate and plant your own tree for just £1.

Choose sustainable fashion

The fashion industry is responsible for 8-10% of global emissions, according to the UN. But choosing to shop with sustainable brands enables us to reduce our fashion footprint because their practices and materials are more environmentally friendly.

Join a clean up
