Environmental Conservation Activity Badge

1. Find out about an environmental issue that is important to your local community. It might be linked to:

• recycling and conservation
• energy efficiency in the home or your meeting place
• the building of new homes and local land use
• water, light, thermal, air or beach pollution
• coastal erosion
• the impact of tourism on the local environment.

2. Take part in an activity or project that improves local conservation. It could take place during a weekend conservation camp or you could spread it over at least five weekly sessions. You could look at:

• recycling
• reducing energy usage or renewable energy
• protecting important habitats or wildlife
• pollution
• erosion
• flooding.

3. Get involved in a campaign to make others aware of an environmental issue. You could write to your MP and other local agencies or speak to a community group.
