Right before you leave home, check to see if all the lights are off and appliances not in use are unplugged.

Bees are the most important pollinators for farming and soon they will become extinct.
We must protect them at all cost!

Styrofoam boxes, plastic straws and plastic cups line our roads and gullies. Reduce plastic waste by cooking at home more often.

The fashion industry is responsible for 5% of all manmade greenhouse gas emissions, and that percentage is set to increase. Take climate action by shopping sustainably.

Why LED and not florescent?
LED light bulbs are 80% more efficient than traditional light bulbs. These bulbs reduce the demand from power plants and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.

Why spend extra dollars on packaging we can’t eat?
Leave the extra plastic behind on your next supermarket trip.

"The impact of Hurricane Dorian over the Bahamas has once again proven that Caribbean Small Island Developing States are on the front line of natural disasters of climate change." Dr. Katherine Grigsby Director and Representative of the UN Cluster Office for the Caribbean)

Studies show that humans consume 50,000 particles of micro plastic daily. What we do on land matters for our oceans and marine life.

Next time you see someone littering, say something. Talk to them about the ripple effects of single use plastic and climate change.
