What Action will you pledge to take?
Simple, practical ways to take better care of the planet.
Rethink – question everything.
Every choice we make – even something as small as how we boil the kettle – shapes the future of our planet. Start by noticing the decisions you make each day. Small shifts in thinking can lead to big changes in how we live.
Refuse – the unnecessary
So much of what we throw away was never needed in the first place. Say no to unnecessary, pointless packaging and throwaway culture. From shopping bags to party favours, freebies to fast fashion – refusing helps stop waste before it starts.
Repair – fix what you have
Don’t replace, keep products for at least seven years. We run the Horsham Repair Cafe or find another one in Sussex here or somewhere else in the World here.
Reconnect – Protect What You Love
The more time we spend in nature, the more we want to protect it. Take a walk, dig your hands in the soil, watch the birds, join a community clean-up. Reconnection is about remembering what we’re part of – and why it’s worth looking after.
Reduce – Do more with less
Using less doesn’t mean missing out – it means living more mindfully. Reduce energy use, cut down on overbuying, and make the most of what you have. It’s about choosing quality over quantity.
Refuel – Change the way you eat
The way we eat shapes the world around us. Choosing local, seasonal and plant-based food is one of the most powerful ways to reduce your impact on the planet. Whether you grow your own herbs, try a meat-free meal, or cut down on food waste – every bite can be part of the solution.
Reuse – Choose things that last
From refillable containers to second-hand clothes, reusing helps keep materials in circulation and reduces the need to buy new. Choose preloved fashion, repurpose jars and packaging, and bring your own bags, bottles, and boxes when you shop.
Replenish – Return what you take
We all rely on the Earth’s resources – and it’s up to us to give something back. Compost food scraps, plant for pollinators, care for soil, and support systems that regenerate rather than deplete. Replenishing is about closing the loop – shifting from a take-make-waste mindset to one where everything has value, and nothing is wasted. It’s about restoring balance – not just for today, but for the future.
