Last updated 14th Sep 2021
The Wombles are encouraging us to save the planet by throwing their weight behind a government campaign.
They are supporting the UK government’s Together for Our Planet initiative to encourage all of us to go #OneStepGreener for the planet.
It is ahead of the United Nations climate change conference (COP26) taking place in Glasgow in November.
LISTEN TO OUR PODCAST: SO YOU WANT TO SAVE THE PLANET?
The Wombles will feature in a series of short, animated films on social media explaining how we can all go #OneStepGreener by:
● Travelling smarter – walking, cycling or taking public transport.
● Reusing and upcycling – to avoid waste going into landfill.
● Growing and eating food in season.
● Planting trees in our gardens.
● Creating wildlife friendly gardens.
● Reducing food waste - by creating meals from left-overs.
● Reducing energy usage at home - by turning off the lights and plugs when not in use.
The public, business and communities are also being encouraged to nominate people who they think are making a big difference in the fight against climate change.
The aim is to recruit #OneStepGreener Ambassadors who will become the voice of the UK public on climate change and will work closely with the government in the lead up to COP26.
Speaking on behalf of The Wombles, Great Uncle Bulgaria said, "We are delighted to support #OneStepGreener.
"We would like to encourage everyone (young and old) to join-in and do their bit for the environment.
"If we all behave like Wombles, we can make a difference to the health of our country and our planet."
