ACTING AGAINST POLLUTION

This year, we are focusing on reducing litter, waste, and invisible pollutants by encouraging responsible consumption (and production) and taking a more circular economy approach to the way our homes, schools, businesses and communities work. And we are doing this with Litter Less Plus! Everyone is welcome and can get involved in the different activities we have planned throughout 2023!

WE DID IT! AND YOU HELPED US GET THERE!

After 40 days across 18 countries and 7,767 kilometres, the Running Out of Time relay has made it to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. An incredible feat that was made possible purely through the support of over ten thousand people running, cycling, hiking, sailing, and celebrating – everyone taking action – to make sure the relay baton made it from Glasgow to Sharm el-Sheikh.

The message - our call for universal, quality climate education - arrived at COP 27 with over 800,000 signatures... and we're still counting! Didn't get the chance to support the message? It's not too late!

The Great Plant Hunt

The Great Plant Hunt was a five-year joint project between the Toyota Fund for Europe and the Foundation for Environmental Education that ran from 2015 to 2020. The project educated students about the importance of biodiversity, with a particular emphasis on plant species, and aimed to shape young people into advocates for conservation. The Great Plant Hunt was implemented in 16 countries and engaged students in hands-on activities to promote biodiversity in their schools and communities. Educational materials for the project were provided by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew with funding from the Wellcome Trust.

Litter Less Campaign

The Litter Less Campaign is a joint initiative of the Mars Wrigley Foundation and Foundation for Environmental Education. Since its launch in 2011, the Litter Less Campaign has educated over three million students around the world about the challenges of litter and waste in their communities and empowered them to become leaders driving sustainability and positive behavioural change.
