Want to take part on Friday 30 September but not sure how? Then look no further!

​

We know that responding to the climate emergency can often feel daunting and it can be difficult to know where to start. But that needn’t be the case! There are a great range of resources out there that can help you consider your environmental impact and make easy changes that have a big impact. Often they’ll also help you save money too so you’ll be helping your bank balance as well as the planet!

​

Almost half of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions come from things we all do every day so every little thing can make a difference.

​

Taking part doesn't need to be daunting, it could be as easy as:

​

• Switching of appliances on standby that you aren't using.

• Walking, cycling, using public transport or carpooling on journeys you'd have otherwise done in your car.

• Going veggie or vegan for the day.

• Think about how you can reduce your food waste.

• Spending 1 minute less in the shower.

• Washing up rather than using your dishwasher.

• Taking your reusable mug or bottle with you rather than buying a disposable one.

• Planting a tree or sowing wildflower seeds in your garden.
