At 8.15am on Monday 10th November community radio stations across the UK will come together for the launch of Our Earth Week.
The seven-day event highlights local climate action, environmental awareness and celebrates the nature around us.
Now in its third year and produced by the Community Radio Environment Network, Our Earth Week is a campaign designed to engage listeners through discussion, useful information, quizzes, creative soundscapes and music. Last year, the initiative was recognised with a nomination for an Arias award.
This year’s theme is Water, with stations exploring rivers, lakes, coastlines and canals close to home. Features will include water-saving tips, flood prevention, pollution awareness, and advice on creating wildlife-friendly spaces.
Stations taking part are supported with a handbook, ready-made audio, and social media content, while many also contribute their own material.
Our Earth Week is open to any community radio station wanting to take part and you can find out more the Community Radio Environment Website or email crenuk1@gmail.com.
