Earth Hour – 26th Mar 2011 | Saturday
In 2007, 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses in Sydney turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change – organised by the WWF. This year, you and your company can be part of it by switching off all non-essential lighting including landmark buildings, signage and electronic billboards and by informing local media and the Communications Team at WWF-UK about your actions.
Worried about having to live in darkness for an entire hour? We have a wide range of solar lights from sun jars to fairy lights – just remember to charge it up under the sun before you switch off the lights!
Bike to School week – 26th – 30th Apr 2011 | 1st week of Summer Term
- Cars cause 21 per cent of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions – the main cause of global warming
- 90 per cent of children have got a bike but 30 per cent would like to cycle to school...
- but only 1 per cent do
Children cycling to school not only gives them the chance for physical exercises, it also helps develop their social skills and become more independent – moreover, it saves you petrol and helps reduce your stress level because you won’t spend as much time being stuck in traffic! So why not get involved with your kids, work out a route, practice it with them and then send them on their greener ways.
Looking to encourage someone to cycle more?
