Environment Projects
The Environment is one of our five global causes.
So how can Lions help protect the environment?
- Can collection – there is at least one club in our District that collects aluminium cans (e.g. beer and coke cans) and exchanges them for cash. The club raises about £500 per year. If you would like more information contact Woolmer Forest Lions.
- Supply Wild Tribe Heroes books to your local primary schools. Not only will you be helping to teach children about the Environment you will be introducing your club to your schools which could be a help in establishing ROAR. The District is supplying one complete set of the books to each club and it is hoped you will purchase more for additional schools. These are available from ellie.jackson@wildtribeheroes.com. The cost is £40 plus postage. Please state that you are Lions.
- Use recyclable cups and plates rather than plastic ones when holding events
- Car share when travelling to meetings
- Donate seed packets to schools so the children can learn about caring for plants (with the added bonus of harvesting food if the seeds are vegetables)
- Plant trees
- Arrange a Litter Pick or Beach Clean
