Taking part

To make things easy, we created a Climate Action Calendar with fun and easy challenges to try out. They ranged from holding a uniform swap shop, planting a butterfly bush, serving up a meat-free Monday and taking part in our Great Big Climate Quiz.

If there’s a challenge you like the look of but can’t do that day, you can always take part later in a way that suits you. Consider the calendar a pick and mix pack of fun climate actions.
