Charity’s ideas

How you can help fight global warming

♦ Plant a tree in your school, workplace or garden to reduce carbon in air.

♦ Use rainwater to water your garden.

♦ Go peat free to protect habitats that store carbon, provide homes for nature and reduce flooding.

♦ Cut carbon by making your own compost.

♦ Pull up paving slabs and grow grass or trees to reduce carbon in the air.

♦ Sow flowering plants to reverse declines in bees, butterflies and other insects.

♦ Grow flowers, or buy UK-grown flowers to reduce carbon created by buying imported bunches.

♦ Use electric gardening tools, not ones run on fossil fuels.

♦ Track the planting of flora in the RHS My Garden online tool.

♦ Eat homegrown, local and UK seasonal produce.
