How to be an Eco Hero this Earth Day (& every day)
Let’s keep the planet cool! Little changes, big difference
Helping kids realise that their choices have an impact on the environment can empower them to take action! For young children, books like Melanie Walsh’s ‘10 Things I Can Do To Help My World’ is a gentle way to start, encouraging simple everyday changes like using both sides of the paper and turning off the lights. For older kids who want more involvement, they could become a Planet Protector with Friends of the Earth!

Love your clothes
