Show Mother Earth some love with these simple ideas.

1. Volunteer your time to help clean things up

Litter not only makes our paths, parks and beaches look untidy, it also causes harm to wildlife and the environment – with plastic waste in particular sticking around for years. Help to keep the planet clean by volunteering your time to take part in an organised beach or river clean.

2. Dress more consciously

The world’s addiction to fast fashion devastates wildlife and communities around the world – from the pollution caused by intensive cotton farming on people and the planet (remember the dried up Aral Sea in Stacey Dooley Investigates: Fashion’s Dirty Secrets?); to the water used in production of clothes and the hidden plastics released during clothes washing, which make their way back to the sea and into the food chain the clothes we buy and wear can have a big impact on the world.

3. Give up single use plastic or at least reduce it Documentaries such as Blue Planet II and Drowning in Plastic have highlighted the vast extent of the plastic crisis and the devastating impact single use plastic is having on ocean wildlife.

4. Plant a tree

Trees help to clean our air, filter our drinking water, purify our soil and provide habitat to over 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. Forests also provide jobs to over 1.6 billion people worldwide and provide key medicinal ingredients.

5. Eat seasonal & local produce

Eating seasonal, local produce helps to reduce the environmental footprint of your food, using less energy (and associated CO2 emissions) for growing and transportation. It also helps to supports the local economy and, as seasonal fruit and vegetables are picked at their natural taste and nutritional peak, quite often tastes better too.
