World Environment Day, celebrated on 5th June 2022, is a day to bring people together to take action in defending our planet.
Each year the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) chooses a particular issue to focus on, with issues ranging from forests, wildlife and more. This year’s theme is ‘Only One Earth’; highlighting the need to live sustainably in harmony with nature by bringing transformative changes – through policies and our choices – towards cleaner, greener lifestyles.
This Environment Day betternotstop is joining the celebration and sharing a few ways in which you can support the initiative.

If you can, plant a tree in your own garden. If not, you could sign up and donate to Ecologi who will plant 100 trees for just £12.40!

Adopt An Eco-Friendly Or Sustainable Lifestyle
Consider being more environmentally aware and try to live a more sustainable life. For example, consider eating less meat or going zero waste.
