Little glowing eyes follow you in the dark as you leave the room at night and when you go to school ... they just carry on glowing. Can you guess what these energy-sucking vampires are? Those little red or green eyes are the standby lights on many household appliances. How many can you find in your home? Can you count them? Were you surprised by the answer? Keep hunting, we expect you’ll come across more over the week. Your challenge this week is to see how many appliances an

We are all creatures of habit – we have ‘our way of doing things’, our ‘usuals’ – would you agree? How about food habits – what are yours? ‘I always have a KitKat at break time‘, ‘I choose cheese and onion crisps every Wednesday’, ‘I like dried fruit snacks when I come home from school’, ‘I buy a Fruit Shoot drink after football’, ‘I normally have a Cheestring in my packed lunch’ … Tackling climate change means we ALL need to make changes to how we live and the choices we m

‘That man’s got the best job in the world’ … said Theron, a Young Climate Warrior from London. What do you think is the best job in the world? Well, Theron was talking about a man who was picking up litter … helping to save our planet by looking after our natural world. You may, or may not, think that litter picking is the best job in the world … but taking action to protect our planet is super important! Your challenge this week is to go on a litter hunt. Take an empty

Talking, nattering, chatting, bantering, discussing, joking, arguing, theorising … This week the challenge is about talking and walking … both really important when it comes to tackling climate change. Whilst out walking, why not chat to your friends, cousins, grandparents, teachers, or neighbours about our natural world and how Young Climate Warriors, like yourself, are taking action to protect it. Maybe talk about some of the weekly challenges that you have undertaken and f

Do you need a bath? Hang on … do you REALLY need a bath? Do you need one every day? Could you skip a bath today, share your bath water, or have a shower instead? It’s Global Goals Week from the 19th to the 27th of September – time for thinking about children all around the world and how we can help end poverty, fight inequality and help combat climate change. Can you imagine waking up before dawn to trek to the nearest water source, and then carrying a filled water container

Let’s kick-start this Autumn term by taking action for climate change, whilst also helping our families reduce their electricity bills … a double whammy! Join Young Climate Warriors all around the UK taking up the challenge this week. Summer 2026 – record-breaking heatwaves and drought across Europe, and the UK’s hottest summer on record. Climate change is already impacting lives in the UK and those of other families across the world. Do you think it is just the governments

How many different patterns can you doodle – find the back of an old envelope and give it a try? Spirals, waves, stripes, tessellations, hexagons, semicircles, teardrops, rings, fractals, hearts, ovoids … these are all different shapes and patterns within nature’s awe-inspiring designs. This summer Young Climate Warriors are challenged to look out for shapes and patterns in nature – when you start looking they are everywhere! Take photos, make sketches or check out our Patter

What’s the story of your fruit and vegetables before they landed on your plate? Have you ever stopped to think about where they come from, how they grow, what climate they grow in, and in which season they are at their best? We are all creatures of habit – would you agree? ‘I like chopped banana on my cereal’ or ‘blueberries in my yoghurt’, or ‘cucumber sticks in my packed lunch’. Young Climate Warriors need to be brave and adventurous. To help cut our carbon emissions we n
