Did you know that today people around the world are celebrating Earth Day to demonstrate support for environmental protection? The theme is – What everyday small changes can we make to help make a difference to the environment? To help celebrate I’ve been offered an Earth Day kit which one of my readers has the chance to win. The fun kit includes:
- A blackboard made from recycled coffee cups
- A cardboard rocket for the children – and eco-paints so the whole family can get involved too
- A selection of P&G products
Big changes don’t have to start with grand acts; they can start much closer to home. Like, choosing to walk to the shops instead of taking the car. Or, using a recyclable water bottle instead of using a plastic one each time you’re on the go.
In fact, 81% of Brits say that even simple, everyday actions help them feel like they’re making a contribution to the environment.
I hope the video inspires you to discover how your own everyday actions can have a surprisingly positive impact on the environment.
Giveaway
I have been given one an Earth Day kit to giveaway (containing the products mentioned above) to a lucky reader of the gingerbread house. If you would like to win simply watch the video and answer this question in a comment below:
According to the video, what product is used to make roofing tiles for housing projects in Mexico? a) paper b) rubber c)plastic
for an extra entry tell others about the giveaway using the Retweet button below or tweet this message: I want to #win an Earth Day kit with @gingerbread_mum http://tinyurl.com/cjjpg4g
Don’t have twitter? Follow the gingerbread house page on Google + or Bloglovin’ – just leave me a comment and let me know.
Small print:
There is one prize consisting of one an Earth Day kit. The giveaway ends May 1st at 8pm. The winner will be selected at random from all correct entries received and notified by email or their twitter handle. The prize is as stated: no cash alternatives are available. UK only.
