Have you heard about ‘The Great Big Green Week’? This a national week of community action from the 10th to the 18th of June to tackle climate change and protect nature.
Apparently there are over 40 different events on the Richmond website. The event programme offers you the opportunity to plant for wildlife and food, litter pick on paddleboard or foot, learn from experts, try new recycling behaviours, listen to environmental stories, build wildlife habitats, connect mindfully with nature, repair and reuse everyday items, become energy efficient, help clean up our air, build a microscope, chat about climate change and enjoy the local environment around us.
Great Big Green Week will also provide us with the opportunity to explore new ways to adapt our behaviours for nature and our climate. Whether it’s planting our food waste, buying second hand, visiting a refill store or renting a cargo bike.
