So, what can you do to make a difference today?
Celebrate Earth Day 2024 by taking simple steps to reduce your carbon footprint. We’ve shared some of our favourite ways below:
- Cycle or walk to the shops, rather than taking the car.
- Litter pick – pick up any stray litter you come across and dispose of it correctly in the recycling bin.
- Veg out – Go meat-free for at least one day a week! Commit to cutting meat out of your diet on a more regular basis too.
- Turn off all technology for an hour – or longer if you dare!
- On the food shop? Only buy items with recyclable packaging or organically sourced.
- Drink tap water rather than bottled or canned.
- Put on a jumper instead of turning on the heating.
Let us know how you get on.
