The Great Big Green Week runs from 8th – 16th June 2024. It is the largest celebration of climate and nature community activities in the UK. Lets have an Ealing Great Big Green week too. Every year people come together to unleash a wave of support for action to protect the planet.

Ealing Great Big Green week 2024
The focus this year for The Great Big Green Week is Let’s swap together for good in your community. From neighbours swapping skills in repair cafes or allotments, to businesses swapping fossil fuels for solar panels, or friends swapping fashion for second hand. So every swap adds up to make a big difference.
Collectively, we will show decision makers there is a public support for policies that create a cleaner, greener, fairer future. We need to protect and restore nature in the UK and abroad. The solutions already exist by swapping polluting fossil fuels for affordable renewables, and support those hit hardest by climate change around the world. And these same solutions will help tackle the cost of living crisis and create a safer, stronger economy.
Are you planning anything in The Big Green Week? If it’s in the borough of Ealing please send us details by email or contact us page.
Together, we can show that it’s time for politicians to step up and play their part. The Great Big Green week has step-by-step guides on how to plan your event and guidance on engaging your local media. They have plenty of resources to help you with every step of the way.
Ealing has seen so many wonderful activities set up throughout the borough from clothes swaps, repair cafes, climate film nights, community tree planting events, the list goes on. Here is what we got up to in Ealing Great Big Green Week 2022. We would love to see similar events in Ealing Borough put on for The Great Big Green Week.
