Reason not to do it

1. An excuse for inaction

Climate change in Africa means floods, droughts and hunger. Trees help by sheltering crops, improving land, reducing erosion and protecting wildlife. They also lock up CO₂ which causes climate change.

Climate Stewards is planting trees in Ghana which has lost a third of its forest in 30 years.

£10/month plants enough trees in a year to lock up 12 tonnes of CO₂ - a little more than the average emissions of each person in the UK.

Giving regularly to plant trees shows you care and that you are serious. But though trees are brilliant they are not enough. We must also...

Start learning to live better on low carbon

Consumerism uses a lot of energy which we get by burning oil, gas and coal. This puts extra CO₂ into the air, which warms the planet.

Our lifestyle does not just change the climate. It also hurts us by causing debt, stress, damaged relationships and even war!

We need to learn to live better on low-carbon. Our vision is a more fulfilling life which uses less energy, not a joyless existence driven by guilt.

Invite others to join you on the journey

Be positive. Hope is more persuasive than fear. Inspiration works better than nagging.

Make encouraging others a way of life. You can start now.
