CSV Action Earth
CSV Action Earth is a campaign sponsored by Morrisons designed to involve people throughout the UK and encourage them to make a practical difference to a local community and to their environment. It starts on the 2nd of March and will continue till 31st July 2009.
The aim is to engage people in identifying projects to improve local environments. There could be a local playground that could do with a makeover, or a piece of land that could be transformed into a community garden. Anything which is practical and involves volunteers to benefit the environment.
The great thing is that anyone can take part. All that is required is some time, volunteers and a project idea.
Alternatively if people just wish to join an existing project then they can visit the website and find out what is happening locally.
If you want to get involved, why not look for a project on the Action Earth website, contact them and see how you can help.
