How you can help by making some lifestyle changes that will hugely benefit the environment.

Making a green liveable plan should be everyone's sole focus.

You could consider:

  • Buying less meat and stick to plant-based food.
  • Supporting your local economy and small businesses.
  • Choosing environmentally conscious vendors.
  • Eating seasonal items.
  • Composting food waste.
  • Buying less and throw less items away.
  • Repair, recycle and reuse, whenever possible.
  • Turning off computers, lights, and appliances.
  • Using a washing line instead of a tumble dryer.
  • Insulating you home and transitioning to renewable power sources. Cleaner alternatives are solar and heat pumps.
  • Making sure the next car you purchase is electric and walk and cycle short distances.
  • Taking trains and buses instead of planes and use video conferencing instead of business travel.
  • When you're replacing your petrol lawnmower, buy an electric (and hedge strimmer).
  • Water scarcity could become a serious issue. Shower for 3 minutes and turn off your tap when you're cleaning your teeth. Purchase a water butt. Help our declining wildlife by leaving patches of lawn for rewilding and plant a tree for life.

Time is running out. It is essential that we make sure our children and ecosystems have a sustainable future. The extreme climatic conditions are sending out a clear message. We must act now before it's too late.

Let's make 2022 the year of climate action and smart environmental choices.
