Go Green Week6 February 2013
Friends of the Earth is collaborating with People and Planet for their week of action. Go Green Week is running 11 - 17 February.
Students in schools, colleges and universities across the UK take part in the week of action every February. They hold activities to raise awareness and launch projects to showcase practical solutions for a low-carbon future.
Most people do a challenge and encourage everyone they know to sponsor them. But instead of pledging money they pledge to reduce their carbon footprint.
This year we're encouraging people to pledge to eat less meat. You might not know that meat and dairy production cause 18% of climate changing emissions. So changing your diet can make a big difference.
Why not get involved too by doing a challenge? You could ask your family, friends and colleagues to sponsor you by reducing how much meat they eat.
