How can we celebrate Earth Day this Saturday? 🌍

🚶‍♀️🚲 Go for a walk or bike ride: Walking or biking instead of driving is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.

♻ Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle: Reduce your waste by buying only what you need, reusing and recycling as much as possible.

💧 Reduce water usage: Fix leaky taps, take shorter showers, and use a watering can instead of a hose to water your garden.

🌱 Plant a tree: Trees absorb carbon dioxide and provide oxygen, making them an essential part of our ecosystem.

💡 Use energy-efficient appliances: Upgrade your business appliances to energy-efficient models. These appliances use less energy, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps to combat climate change.

💬 Educate yourself and others: Jack yourself up on environmental issues and what we can do to help.

Share this post and your knowledge with friends and family, participate in local environmental initiatives. Simple switches go a long way.

Today is World Water Day 💧
Here are a few simple tips and tricks to save more water.

More than a third of adults (35 per cent) have had to deal with a leak in past 12 months.
➡ A leak of one drip per second can increase your annual water bill by 6%.
➡ Brits leave a leaking tap for an average of three weeks before fixing it.

Forecasters are predicting a drier autumn and winter than normal, leading to fears that drought conditions could last into the summer of 2023 or longer.

Climate change and population growth mean we need to take action now to ensure we have enough water over the coming decades to manage everyday supplies, and more intense drought events.

A few small changes can go a long way. 🌍
