Climate Care was formed in 1998 as a limited company, to help individuals and organisations reduce their own impact on global warming. Then, as now, we were in no doubt of the enormity of the challenge, but we reasoned "One World. One Climate. Two Choices." The first choice is to ignore the problem and hope it will go away by itself. The second choice is to acknowledge the problem and then take sensible, sure steps to resolving it. If "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" then the journey to a healthier climate starts today. One step, one person, one company at a time. When it comes to the environment, even the smallest individual action really does make a difference - and can benefit you too! There are many easy changes we can all make to our everyday lives to help protect and improve our environment - it just involves a little bit of extra thought about our day-to-day actions and how they impact on the environment. ECO - The Campaign for Political Ecology The aim of ECO is to realign politics around the ecological imperative which requires that we live within the constraints imposed on us by the earth. The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) is an alliance of companies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and trade union organisations.

Their ultimate goal is to ensure that the working conditions of workers producing for the UK market meet or exceed international labour standards. Friends of the Earth has been at the forefront of the struggle to protect the environment since 1971, campaigning and mobilising public opinion to persuade politicians and industry to take action - internationally, nationally and locally. The Green Party aims to create a just, equitable and sustainable society. They focus their efforts primarily, though not exclusively, through the electoral system. Over 170,000 people in the UK are currently having an impact on the future of their environment. Simply by being a Greenpeace supporter you can be part of the search for solutions to environmental problems and make a real difference. Established in 1981, Groundwork is a leading environmental regeneration charity. From small community schemes to major regional and national programmes, our network of over 40 local Trusts works in partnership with local people, local authorities and business to promote economic and social regeneration by improvements to the local environment. Living Earth Foundation is an international, non-governmental organisation (NGO), which encourages people to learn and work together to resolve the environmental issues that concern them. Did you know that every time you buy something made or grown in a developing country, you take part in a billion pound scam? As it works today, the global trading system rips off people who are already poor. You don't want it. They certainly don't want it. Together, we can change it.
