Tips on being more eco-friendly while gaming

Did you know that gaming has an impact on the environment?

About 50 million tonnes of e-waste is disposed of every year globally, but only 20% is collected and recycled. The Regenerators have tips and tricks on how you can help tackle this, such as:

  • Sharing your devices with friends

  • Buying second hand

  • Taking care of your devices and keeping them clean

Fashion

The team also look at how to make good choices when it comes to clothes.

Fast fashion is a big problem for the environment.

And the fashion industry has a huge impact on the environment - it's the second biggest polluter behind the oil industry.

So, there are calls for people to make more sustainable choices when it comes to their clothes.

Hobbies

Big shows like festivals or sporting events can be great fun.

But going along can also damage the environment - often through things like your travel to get there and the meals you buy when you're there.

The team look at ways of being more sustainable in your choices, so you can still enjoy yourself.

'You can change the world'

The Regenerators will also feature a lot of familiar faces, such as Cel Spellman, Konnie Huq and Dr Amir Khan.

Cel said: "There are so many things that young people can do to make a difference. Young people are one of my biggest sources of inspiration, they're driving the conversation around climate but there's so much more we can all be doing. Individual actions put together can create seismic change. Young people can, and absolutely will, change the world."On 10 November, there will also be a special 麻豆官网首页入口 Live Lesson, where The Regenerators will be explaining what climate change is, and what can be done about it.
