Go Green Week

People and Planet are hosting Go Green Week to draw peoples' attention to climate change and opting for greener alternatives! Now all they need are plenty of students to help them do it!
Rising temperatures and changes in the environment has led to all sorts of natural diasters like floods, tsunamis and tornadoes. The results have drastically changed peoples lives, and often meant having to uproot and start all over again completely.

And it's not just people hit by these disasters in far-away countries that are at risk - the worse the problem gets, the more likely we all are to end up affected.

The organisers of the event have suggested a whole host of activities that you can get involved in during the week. And with a theme for each day - there is something for everyone!

National Nestbox Week

National Nest Box Week is great for birds. Starting on St Valentine's Day, it's the time we remind ourselves to provide homes for dozens of species, from Blue Tits to Barn Owls.

If you've never built a nest box before, why not give it a go this year? Or if you haven't got the time, it's easy to buy a good one. Go on, take part for Britain's birds!  Go to www.bto.org/nnbw/index.htm
