Give Green a Chance
You're a keen recycler who
always turns the lights off
when you leave the room,
but you could do more. Try
using your own takeaway
container and reusable
cutlery at work to help
cut down on takeaway
Styrofoam and plastic use
Zoë Lenkiewicz, Head
of Programmes and
Engagement with UK
charity WasteAid, says...
"There's plenty of
information online
to help us all be more
environmentally aware.
Single-use plastic is made
from fossil fuels, and much
of it can't be recycled. One
environmental win is to
have a reusable coffee
cup. With lots of cafés
offering a discount to
bring your own, it's good
for your wallet, too"
A LITTLE OFF THE WASTE

Think Local, Stay Hopeful
You're aware of the
damage being caused to
the environment, but
maybe you also groan
when you see "global
warming" trending on
Twitter. The world's a big
place, but think locally
when it comes to being
green. Brush up on key
facts about conservation,
know how polluted your
borough is and bring a
canvas bag to the farmer's
market. All these little
changes add up
Zoë Lenkiewicz says...
"Check social media for
environmental groups to
meet like-minded people
in your area. You could get
involved in litter picks
along rivers and beaches,
go plogging (litter-picking
while jogging), try out
vegetarianism, or give
eco-friendly cleaning
products a go"

Force of Nature
Wow, you've probably got
metal straws in your
backpack and you're ready
to save the world. Now
that you know what the
problems are, pair up with
a charity or local authority
to help tackle problems in
your area
Zoë Lenkiewicz says...
"Big changes are needed,
and the challenge can feel
daunting. The biggest step
we need to take is to
drastically reduce carbon
emissions. Do we really
need a six-litre engine to
pick the kids up from
school? Or a mini-break to
a far-flung resort? These
are fairly easy decisions to
make and can have a big
impact on our personal
carbon footprint"
