It’s world earth day!
The theme this year is Our Power Our Plant here’s a few things you can do today to reduce your environmental impact -
Eat plant based, even eating a plant based diet for one day can reduce your environmental impact greatly and may even influence you to follow it other days.
Choose public transport - transport is one of the biggest contributors to the UK’s emissions, taking public transport can decrease your personal carbon footprint massively
Recycle- it sounds basic but recycling conserves natural resources, protects ecosystems and wildlife, reduces demand for raw materials, saves energy, cuts climate - changing carbon emissions and tackles youth unemployment (friendsoftheearth.co.uk)
Buy from a charity shop instead of an online retailer - according to Oxfam you can save the equivalent of 20,000 standard bottles of water by buying a second hand pair of jeans or a second hand t-shirt, charity shops reduces waste, keeping clothes from landfill and giving garments a second chance at being used
Happy world earth day!! @earthdaynetwork

Just over a week ago, we were at the launch of the UK's first Marmot Coastal Region in Kent.
We were thrilled to have the opportunity to speak about our Creative Catalyst Thanet work and how it's part of the solution.

We were thrilled to attend the Skills 26 conference yesterday!
We heard from some incredible people and organisations, including @eastkentcollege , @unikentlive , @wirebeltcompanyltd , @kent_further_education , @_creativekent , @skills_england , @screen.south , @dwpgovuk , @laurenedwards.mp , @kentinvictachamber .
It was great to hear from such a mix of employers and educators.
One comment which stood out to us was from Jo Nolan, of @screen.south : "Working in the creative industries is a proper job".
Alongside the other fantastic panels, we got to speak on the final one about the power of apprenticeships for employers and employees.
We had a brilliant time and can't wait for Skills 27!

What an incredible talk from Professor Sir Michael Marmot at the launch of the Kent Marmot Coastal Region in Dover today.
Here's a summary:
Healthy life expectancy, especially in coastal Kent, is plummeting. Excess deaths in the most deprived areas such as Thanet are shocking.
Until now, effort has been inversely proportionate to need. The poorest places with the sickest populations have had funding cut for more than a decade.
We've failed the next generation, whose lives will be worse than their parents' lives.
We need a change in the way we do things.
But there's hope. Communities are taking action all over the country. And now we're part of this.
The Kent Marmot Coastal Region is a way to make that change.
It starts now with partnerships and with people with lived experience at the centre of things.

Margate Creative Land Trust is proud to be #openingdoors for local artists and organisations to access space and networks, growing the local creative economy.
We funded 5 paid placements on the Creative Catalyst Thanet scheme for local young creatives, supporting Co-relate to create more opportunities in Margate.
These roles were tailored to individual needs, #openingdoors for 16-24 year olds not in work or training (NEET), who would otherwise struggle to get creative work.
