The Green London Tour is a month-long challenge to celebrate Earth Day in a new way with the London Environmental Network! Together, we are building a more sustainable community and creating positive environmental change with collective action. We believe there are plenty of opportunities in our home, commute, workplace, and daily lives to affect positive change in the environment, and now more than ever, we know that climate action is essential for the well-being of current and future generations on this planet.
In partnership with members of the London Environmental Network, Green Economy London, and London Clean and Green partners, we’ve created an activity card filled with environmental actions to do individually or with your household at home, outdoors, or safely in the community - one for each week in April.
We’re challenging all Londoners to participate in these weekly action cards to raise awareness and demonstrate environmental stewardship in the city, and for the chance to win some awesome local prizes!

Why the Green London Tour Matters
The Green London Tour helps to raise awareness about what everyone can do to take climate action in their daily lives. We know that individual actions can feel pretty small and inconsequential in the grand scheme of climate change. But individual actions *do* make a difference, especially when a large group of people are doing them at the same time! We feel inspired by individual and collective climate action, and we hope that these activities make you feel inspired while making a real difference in your community too.
Why else should you take the Green London Tour?
- Most activities in the challenge are designed for all ages and abilities, but feel free to customize them to fit your lifestyle.
- Most activities in the challenge are family-friendly! Engage your children in fun activities that teach them the value of sustainability and environmental awareness.
- Many activities help support local and sustainable businesses in London, which is an essential part of having a sustainable and resilient city!
- Did we mention the chance to win some awesome prizes from local businesses? Check back soon for the list of prizes you'll have a chance to win. Remember, more activities = more entries and a greater chance at winning prizes.
