Climate Week - 21st to 27th March 2011
Earth Hour: Friday, 26 March, 8.30 pm
Climate Week is a supercharged national occasion that offers an annual renewal of ambition and confidence to combat climate change. It is for everyone wanting to do their bit to protect our planet and create a secure future.
Climate Week will shine a spotlight on the many positive steps already being taken in workplaces and communities across Britain. The power of these real, practical examples – the small improvements and the big innovations – will then inspire millions more people.
Thousands of businesses, charities, schools, councils and others will run events during Climate Week on 21-27 March 2011. They will show what can be achieved, share ideas and encourage thousands more to act during the rest of the year.

MoreFairtrade Fortnight 2011 runs from 28th Feb to 13th March.
This year the Fairtrade Foundation is asking the nation to show off about buying Fairtrade which offers 7.5 million people in the developing world a more secure future. The fun-filled fortnight has been launched just as figures reveal that Fairtrade sales amounted to over £1 billion in 2010, and increase of over 40% on the previous year.
You can show off Fairtrade any way you want. Take part in a bunting record attempt, hold a fashion show with your friends, or be loud and proud about how your school supports farmers and workers in developing countries.
So it is time to get inspired and get ready to Show Off Your Label.
