Get Involved

Do you run a local eco-friendly business, volunteer with a climate-conscious organisation or want to do more to save the planet – starting with your local community? Join our pop-up! Email earthhavenedinburgh@gmail.com to talk more about ways you can help us take positive climate action

The Planet on Your Plate

Upping veg intake and reducing consumption of meat and dairy can have a hugely positive impact on the planet. Try doing vegetarian or vegan days or making the switch to a plant-based diet. And, to further reduce your plate’s carbon footprint, shop seasonal and local.

Know Your Nature

Contribute positively to the green and blue spaces in your community that help absorb CO2 and benefit our collective well-being. Plant a tree! Participate in an ocean plastic cleanup! Remember that nature is our ally in the fight against climate change.

Your Money Matters

Move your money to an ethical bank that invests in sustainable enterprises, search for responsible investments and research your pension provider.

Watch What You Wear

Wasteful and polluting fashion is out of style. Repair what you wear, recycle what you don’t, and when you need a wardrobe refresh, buy second hand or shop a sustainable brand.

Your Help Starts at Home

Turning off the lights, unplugging appliances, taking cold showers, and turning down the thermostat are just some of the easy ways you can save energy – and money! – at home. 

Communicate Your Changes

Sharing the actions you’re taking to help the planet is a great way to inspire others and combat eco-anxiety (yes, it’s a thing). If we all make an effort, a thousand individual ripples can create a wave of change — or as Greta likes to say: no one is too small to make a difference.
