Protecting the Environment

One of our seven Areas of Focus is Supporting the Environment. Clubs are active in finding ways we can do this in partnership with other clubs and organisations.

By helping to protect our natural world we support all our other Areas of Focus:

promoting peace
fighting disease
providing clean water
saving mothers and children
supporting education
growing local economies
as well as, of course, supporting the environment.

Perhaps you could organise a litter pick with a local organisation, business or school. Maybe it could be a monthly club activity in your local area. If you want some ideas on how to do this safely you could contact Clean Our Patch in Plymouth who have set up litter picking groups accross the city and supported picks with schools.

There are so many ways to recycle now too, like recycling soft plastics also known as scrunchie plastics. If you need to use these single use plastics then keep them all together and more than likely you will find your local supermarket has a specific container for you to put them in. Use the store locator here. How many soft plastics do you use in a week?

All clubs are invited to consider their impact on our essential natural world and how we can mitigate those impacts. There is more information about how to do this in the Members pages.

If you have an idea linked to environment as non member get in touch with your local club and see if you too can make some magic happen.

Together we can make a real and lasting difference in our world for future generations to enjoy.

Our District Environmental Lead is Kevin Needham. Please contact him for any help and support.

Leave behind only footprints and lots of smiles!
