You have the power to play an important part in Scotland’s journey adapting to climate change. Here are some ideas of things you can do in your daily life:

If you have a garden or a local free-access green space, consider planting trees, helping with the gardening or creating a home for different wildlife (e.g. bug hotels).

Let you parents and friends know about the Climate Change Plan. Talking about Climate Change is important. The more people know about it, the better.

When travelling to and from school and other places, use public transport, walk, wheel and cycle and car share where possible.

Recycle bottles and paper. Try to repair things instead of throwing them away. Also use reusable bottles and lunch boxes.

Ask you parents how you heat your house. Let them know about heat pumps.

Join school eco clubs or community clean-up days.
