Green Action Day

On Saturday, 16 September 2023, our community came together for Green Action Day, a day about environmental sustainability and acting together. Local young people and people from minority groups joined to learn, talk and take first steps towards a cleaner, greener neighbourhood.

What happened

• Environmental education: discussions on climate change, pollution and sustainable living.
• Practical workshops: how to reduce waste, recycle properly and use less plastic.
• Sustainability in action: simple habits with real impact, such as composting, saving energy and buying responsibly.

Why it mattered

Green Action Day showed that sustainability is not only an individual responsibility but a shared effort, and that small changes add up. It was the start of our green activities, followed by neighbourhood clean-ups and community conversations on a sustainable future.
