This year’s theme is Climate Change, highlighting the importance of acting now to help project our environment for future generations.

While climate change can feel like a huge global issue, small everyday changes can still make a real difference.

Here are 5 Ways to Go Green and help tackle climate change:

1) Save energy at home

Switch to LED bulbs, unplug unused appliances and consider energy-efficient home improvements to help reduce energy usage and household bills.

2) Travel more sustainably

Walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing can all help reduce carbon emissions and support a greener future.

3) Reduce waste

Reuse bags, bottles and containers where possible and recycle correctly to help reduce unnecessary waste going to landfill.

4) Support local

Shopping locally and choosing sustainable products can help reduce transport emissions while supporting local businesses and communities.

5) Create greener spaces

Planting trees, flowers and pollinator-friendly plants can help support biodiversity and improve local environments.
