How can you show the love for the earth?

Save energy

Less CO2 means slower and less damaging climate change. We can all do our bit by insulating our homes, switching to green electricity, turning down the thermostat a notch or considering a heat pump or solar power.

Eat more plants

Meat and dairy production costs much more than growing vegetables. Eating more vegetarian or vegan food is good for the planet (and for our health)

Travel lighter

Petrol and diesel cars and flying make a huge contribution to climate change. Choosing to walk, cycle, bus or train instead of driving, and flying less are all important actions we can take.

Improve local nature

We have lost a huge amount of the natural environment in the UK and we can all do something to reverse this.
