Rivers are our lifeblood. We rely on them for clean water, food, leisure, health and our well-being. They are a precious resource that is under serious threat from us, from the way we live and the everyday things we do – without thinking about what the consequences are for our drinking water, wildlife and the people we love.
Tackling the effects of climate change and the harmful actions of billions of people can seem daunting, and we know that governments and businesses have a major part to play in protecting our planet and our way of life … but so do each and every one of us.
It’s time to Act for Eden
By making a promise to Act for Eden, you will make a small (and painless!) change to something you do every day. As well as making Eden’s rivers cleaner and healthier, it could also be good for your health and save you money!
… and it’s really easy to do! Simply
- Make a promise (there’s 10 to choose from)
- Keep your promise for 2 months
- Report back and let us know if you kept your promise or not and share your life hacks/what worked for you.
