Ethical Consumer week - Ethical Consumer Magazine encourages organisations, businesses and campaign groups to host their own events, discussions and actions. 

This year’s Recycle Week theme is ‘Rescue Me’. The campaign will run from 14th-20th October 2024, focusing on rescuing recyclable items from the rubbish bin. 

Organic September – Organic September is a month-long campaign to raise awareness of the many benefits of organic food and farming.

Organic September celebrates all the organic sector does for climate, nature, and health.

But nature urgently needs our help. Emissions from fossil-fuel based nitrogen fertilisers used in intensive farming are contributing to the climate emergency.

Our rigorous standards ban the use of these fertilisers in organic systems. But we need to send a message to the government that urgent action is needed.

National Marine Week ( actually a fortnight!) - The Wildlife Trusts’ nationwide celebration of all things marine. Despite the name, it lasts 15 fun-filled days to allow for the variation in tide times around the country. 

Dorset Climate Action Network (DCAN) is hosting this free on-line webinar: "Energy Security and Net Zero in Dorset: Exploring the opportunities & challenges".

There is an amazing line-up of speakers:

Solitary Bee Week  - about raising awareness for the solitary bees.

World Car Free Day - when all around the world towns and cities allow people to experience streets free of motor traffic.
