We are in the middle of a climate crisis. It is now essential to become more green.
This may sound hard, but its not!
Here are 5 ways you can help save our planet:
1. Shop locally and organically.
This reduces your carbon footprint and supports local farmers. To help you know what is organic and what isn't, on loose organic fruit and vegetables there is a 5 digit code and on non organic produce there is a 4 digit code.
2. Re-use and Recycle
Re-using items saves the natural resources and energy needed to make new ones, and also saves money.
3. Reduce your carbon footprint.
On short journeys try walking and cycling, or maybe share a lift with someone if they live close. Use the link below to find out how big your carbon footprint is.
How big is your footprint? WWF will find out for you.
4 Inspire others
Talk to others and get them inspired. This is an important problem and we need everyone to do their bit.
