The Great Big Green Week (June 8-16)
During The Climate Coalition’s Great Big Green Week there will be all sorts of events around the country, from beach cleans and allotment tours to community craft groups and nature trails. To find a local event, visit The Climate Coalition.

This year, the coalition is encouraging communities across the UK to make swaps to help create a better future:
“From neighbours swapping skills in repair cafes or allotments, to businesses swapping fossil fuels for solar panels, to friends swapping fast fashion for second-hand finds – every swap will add together to make a big difference.”
