The focus of this year’s World Earth Day (22 April) has been ‘Protect Our Species’. This is in response to the destruction of plant and wildlife populations by climate change, deforestation, poaching and pollution.

If you’re in London, there is an ongoing series of events at Somerset House.

Water Saving Week runs from April 29^th to May 3^rd. Hosted by waterwise, there’s “an exciting range of activities to raise awareness about why we need to save water, including daily challenges, ideas and tips to help you do it”.

Each day of Water Saving Week focuses on a specific area of water use or benefit of water efficiency. Water Saving Week Packs are available for each day and include challenges, ideas and tips to help you save water in relation to that day’s theme.
