Celebrating Earth Day🌍
Let’s celebrate Earth Day! This week marks the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability. This day allows us to come together and form new habits towards a greener planet.
Ways you can help towards Earth Day this week💭
Luckily, there are ways for everyone to get involved in earth day! It could be volunteering, voting towards change or even everyday changes to routine for a better environment. The ambition is that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. This is a scary thought, therefore all changes work towards making a big difference. Earthday.org would like to end plastics with hope for 60% reduction in production by 2040.
To support this cause please sign the Global Plastics Treaty here!

Everyday Changes for a Better Tomorrow..🌿
It is said that ‘Most of the damage to our environment stems from consumption: what we consume, how much we consume and how often’ (Green Mountain) . Therefore, learning to manage this by making everyday changes can help towards a better tomorrow. To give you an idea of some daily habits, we will run through some practical suggestions you can change in your daily life!
Shop Sustainably👕
With fast fashion reaching its peak, currently there are 100 billion garments made annually, with 87% ending up in landfills. With fashion styles changing weekly, many are being wasteful with their clothes consumption. Therefore, making a choice to shop sustainably is a great choice to save you money and the planet! Charity shops are an ideal choice for sustainable shopping, alongside apps like Vinted. This gives the opportunity to make some extra money as well as give your items a new lease of life outside of the landfill!
Exploring Plastic Alternatives🥤
Daily habits make a change towards a greener future. Alternatives to implement this earth day can include reusing your coffee cup, and water bottles. This will reduce waste of single-use water bottles which are damaging to the environment. Equally, changing from plastic straws to metal straws can greatly impact the environment, reducing single-use-plastic. Especially as there are 14 million tones of polypropylene (plastic straws) in the ocean, so any change to target this is important!
Vaping & Smoking🚬
A silent threat, we all often overlook is the impact smoking and vaping has on the environment. In terms of littering, vapes are largely to blame. Due to the surge in vaping it is said that users purchase 14 million single use vapes each month. A better alternative to this would be rechargeable vapes, as they can last longer. Moreover, incorrect disposal of these vapes can release plastic littering, electronical and hazardous chemical waste into the environment (The Lancet).
Likewise, cigarette butts are deadly for the environment with around 4.5 trillion cigarette butts polluting the environment. Typically, many litter canals, lakes, and the ocean, not excluding the streets and wildlife. Therefore, mindfully disposing of cigarettes will reduce impact to the environment, protect animals and even prevent the chance of wildfires.
Travel Responsibly🚗
When travelling for short journeys, walking or cycling is a great alternative. Both prompt amazing physical and mental health benefits, whilst saving money. For longer journeys using public transport is ideal, or car sharing etc. Cars pose a risk to the environment with the green house gas emissions causing air pollution. How can this affect you? Exhaust fumes, are shown to increase the risk of dementia and risk the health to unborn babies. To conclude, poor air quality affects asthma and is associated with an increasing amount of lung conditions every year.
