On this World Migratory Bird Day, we highlight the critical link between reforestation and biodiversity restoration. Reforestation not only rebuilds forests but also creates vital habitats where wildlife, including migratory birds, can thrive. Restoring forest ecosystems can support a wide range of species, including the insects crucial for migratory birds' survival. This year's focus is on the urgent need to address the essential role insects play in sustaining migratory birds. Insects provide the energy and nutrients birds need during breeding and migration. However, intensive agriculture, pesticide use, and urban development have led to a decline in insect populations, threatening migratory bird species and destabilising ecosystems. Reforested areas provide a safe haven for both birds and insects, supporting the food chain and ensuring balanced biodiversity. The 2024 campaign emphasises the need for conservation efforts, such as reducing pesticide use, promoting sustainable farming, and protecting natural habitats. Reforestation is a key solution, helping create resilient ecosystems supporting insects, birds and wildlife. Join us at @greenstepsgroup as we work toward a healthier planet by planting forests and restoring biodiversity. Your participation is crucial in our collective efforts to protect migratory species and restore the natural balance needed for life on Earth. #GreenStepsGroup #RewildingThePlanet #WorldMigratoryBirdDay #GreenTech #ClimateTech #GrowingInnovation #GrowYourOwnForest #Reforestation #Treeplanting #TreeVerification #RestorativeJourney #Regeneration #Impact #PositiveImpact #PreserveOurPlanet #NatureBased #Conservation #Environment #Sustainability #Nature #Environment #Biodiversity #RestoreBiodiversity #ClimateRegulation #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ClimateAction

Today, we spotlight the critical role of environmental health in creating resilient communities, especially as we face the growing challenges of climate change and disaster risk. This year’s World Environmental Health Day theme, “Environmental Health: Creating Resilient Communities through Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation,” reminds us that healthy environments are the foundation for thriving societies. At Green Steps Group, we tackle these global issues head-on through Reforestation and Ocean and River Waste Recovery. By planting trees, we combat air pollution, mitigate CO2e, restore ecosystems and biodiversity, and enhance climate resilience. Our ocean and river waste recovery programme helps restore waterways and the ocean, reduces plastic pollution, and safeguards marine life. Communities are at the heart of what we do. By creating hours of paid work and restoring their homelands, we uplift their livelihoods financially and through greater farming and fishing ecosystems. Mutual local community engagement is essential for achieving successful regenerative impact, and in so doing, we stimulate green education and promote local wisdom. Together, these actions improve the health of our planet and protect communities from the devastating impacts of climate change. Join us in building a cleaner, healthier future for a thriving society @greenstepsgroup    #GreenStepsGroup #RewildingThePlanet #ClimateTech #WorldEnvironmentalHealthDay #GrowYourOwnForest #Reforestation #Treeplanting #TreeVerification #OceanWaste #OceanWasteRecovery #SaveOurSeas #SourceToSea #OceanConservation #RestorativeJourney #Regeneration #Impact #PositiveImpact #PreserveOurPlanet #NatureBased #Nature #Conservation #Sustainability #Biodiversity #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #ProtectOurPlanet #Environment #ResilientCommunities

Rivers are essential lifelines, supporting ecosystems, livelihoods, and civilisations. Protecting them is crucial for the planet's health and future generations. We can ensure their benefits endure by focusing on ecological conservation, sustainable development, and climate resilience. As stewards of these crucial waterways, we must take proactive green steps to preserve this precious resource. World Rivers Day highlights the importance of rivers and encourages global stewardship. Beyond providing fresh water for drinking, rivers shape landscapes, support biodiversity, are crucial for transportation, and generate hydropower energy. Yet, they face growing threats from pollution, damming, and climate change. These challenges harm wildlife, disrupt natural flows, and increase floods and droughts. Dive into action and join our Source to Sea programme to preserve and restore the rivers and oceans, Earth's largest and most vital ecosystem.

Let's come together to reduce our carbon footprint and combat the harmful effects of emissions on our planet! Greenhouse gases contribute to climate change, global warming, and air pollution, affecting our health, ecosystems, and oceans. We can create a positive impact by adopting sustainable practices, such as using clean, renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as much as possible, and eliminating residual emissions (those you cannot avoid) by investing in the creation of carbon sinks by planting trees, reducing waste and single-use plastics, cleaning our vital rivers and oceans, and advocating for emissions-cutting policies. How is your business giving back to nature? Talk to us about how you can take regenerative action towards a cleaner, greener future by growing your own forest, joining our ocean and river waste recovery programme and building better brands with climate-tech revenue-positive nature-based solutions @greenstepsgroup. Together, we can help safeguard our environment, focus on the urgent need to reduce harmful emissions and protect our planet from the effects of climate change. #GreenStepsGroup #RewildingThePlanet #ClimateTech #WorldEmissionsDay #ReduceEmissions #GrowYourOwnForest #Reforestation #Treeplanting #TreeVerification #OceanWaste #OceanWasteRecovery #SaveOurSeas #SourceToSea #OceanConservation #RestorativeJourney #Regeneration #Impact #PositiveImpact #YourImpactCounts #ProtectOurPlanet #NatureBased #Nature #Conservation #Environment #Sustainability #Biodiversity #ClimateRegulation #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #CleanEnergy

Shockingly, 80% of toys end up in landfills, rivers, or the ocean. The toy industry has a huge carbon footprint, using 40 tonnes of plastic per US$1 million in revenue, significantly contributing to pollution. While toys aid in child development, they also pose environmental risks. Advertisers target children, creating emotional attachments to toys and encouraging "pester power" to push parents to buy more. Many children, especially younger ones, struggle to distinguish between advertisements and entertainment, making them vulnerable to consumerism. Research shows that children can understand the climate crisis and suggest solutions. Involving them in decisions about toy purchases can counteract the influence of advertising. Parents can encourage eco-friendly choices by discussing the environmental impact of toys, supporting sustainable brands, and donating used toys through "toy banks." 🐬 90% of toys are plastic, often containing harmful chemicals like lead, cadmium, and dioxins. 🐬Children who chew on PVC plastic toys absorb dangerous chemicals; it is safer to opt for eco-friendly, non-toxic toys. 🐬When disposed of, plastic and textile toys pollute ecosystems, including rivers and oceans. 🐬Many soft plastic toys contain phthalates, which can disrupt hormone systems and cause health issues like reduced fertility and cancer. 🐬Marine life often confuses floating plastic and textile debris for food. Empowering children to think critically about marketing and make thoughtful choices can help reduce waste and promote more sustainable consumption habits. On this World Clean Up Day, let's start cultivating a generation of EARTH PROTECTORS by educating, inspiring change and leading by example. Start your river and ocean revolution today @greenstepsgroup and leave a legacy for your children and future generations. #GreenStepsGroup #RewildingThePlanet #ClimateTech #WorldCleanUpDay #ZeroWaste #OceanWaste #BeachCleanUp #OceanWasteRecovery #SaveOurSeas #SourceToSea #OceanConservation #RestorativeJourney #Regeneration #Impact #PositiveImpact #ProtectOurPlanet #ClimateAction #Sustainability #SustainableLiving #Educate #Inspire #Change #Environment #SayNoToSingleUsePlastic #Rethink #Reduce #Reuse #Recycle #Repeat #ToyAwareness

The International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer marks the 1987 Montreal Protocol, aimed at phasing out ozone-depleting substances which threaten and damage the ozone layer, Earth's protective barrier against harmful UV radiation. Reforestation reduces ground-level ozone by absorbing pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Forests act as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2), a major greenhouse gas. Reforestation helps mitigate climate change and contributes to better air quality. Forests provide shade and cool the environment, decreasing energy consumption and reducing ozone-harming pollutants. Reforestation enhances biodiversity and strengthens ecosystems, making them more resilient to environmental stressors, including those related to ozone depletion. Healthy ecosystems maintain a balanced atmosphere, supporting overall planetary health. Reforestation engages communities, raising awareness and creating local work. We take pride in being part of a community of forward-thinking businesses and partners, all dedicated to creating a brighter, healthier, and more sustainable future for all. Together, we are committed to respecting and preserving this planet for future generations. Are you ready to invest in nature with @greenstepsgroup?

On World Ocean Day, we highlight the urgent need to restore our oceans and rivers by keeping them pollution- and plastic-free. Healthy oceans are essential for the survival of dolphins, miraculously intelligent, graceful, playful and magnificent marine mammals known for their complex communication and highly social behaviours. Dolphins play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems, but pollution, habitat loss, and human activities threaten their habitats and livelihoods. By reducing pollution and eliminating plastics, we can protect these vulnerable species and the biodiversity they support. With over 90 species of dolphins worldwide, our efforts to safeguard their environments are crucial for ensuring that these incredible creatures—and the entire marine ecosystem—can thrive.
