This June, Co-op is supporting Great Big Green Week and is calling for the public to get involved too.
There are lots of ways to join in. You could share a photo or video of nature on your doorstep, take part in an event in your area, or share your hopes for future generations by writing a Letter to Tomorrow.
Great Big Green Week is the UK's biggest celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature, this year taking place from June 10 o 18 and organised by the Climate Coalition.
Bridport is staging a whole week of events to mark the occasion, starting with an opening event from 10.30am to 1.30pm on Saturday, June 10 at the Bridport Community Orchard, including a bike ride around the town.
Bridport's Co-op Member Pioneer Lesley Windsor will be among those running stalls at the event. She will be promoting Co-op Sustainability Live initiative and will be asking what sustainability means to you and your community.
There will also be live music from Squeezebox and refreshments.
You can find out more on the programme for Bridport's Great Big Green Week here.
