One Step Greener
Hunt is on for climate ambassadors
AHEAD OF THE UN Climate Change Conference COP26 in Glasgow, 13 ambassadors have been chosen to encourage the UK to follow in their green footsteps and help the country tackle climate change.
Now the search for another 13 everyday climate leaders is underway.
Sara Thomson, Founder of The Leith Collective is one of the first ambassadors. Sara founded The Leith Collective in 2019, providing a platform for 130 artists brought together by a common aim to repurpose items that may otherwise have been destined for landfill. The Leith Collective became the UK's first single-use plastic free shop of its kind and was later crowned runner up in the Surfers Against Sewage Plastic Free Awards. People can nominate anyone in their community who is making a difference in the fight against climate change.
Nominees will have the chance to become “One Step Greener Ambassadors and showcase their stories at COP26. Those nominated could be family members, friends, colleagues, community leaders or entrepreneurs: anyone who is taking action to tackle climate change and inspiring others.
"One Step Greener" Ambassadors will come from all walks of life in their pursuit of a greener future, as they come together with government, businesses, community groups, schools and citizens in taking steps to tackle climate change. together-for-our-planet.ukcop 26.org/onestepgreener
