LOVE LIVING WITH HOST? Rebook for September 2024
One of our charities of the year is Planet Patrol and over the past few months we’ve talked about who they are and what they do. But what can you do to help raise awareness and support the work they do?
Well, besides from making your pledge and choosing to support Planet Patrol in the #HostEnvironmentalPledge, if you feel passionate about protecting the environment, below are some great ways you can get involved with, and support Planet Patrol.
To become closer to solving the litter pollution problem, we must first understand it. That’s why by downloading the Planet Patrol app you can log any litter you find in your local area and upload to the ‘Litter Map’.
The data logged helps Planet Patrol uncover insights into the trends and patterns of litter to inform evidence-based solutions to stop the problem at the source.
Planet Patrol clean ups combine a variety of fun activities with an opportunity to help keep your local community clean and contribute towards the litter tracking research. There really is something for everyone, from paddle-boarding to parkour, and yoga to beach cleans. The activities are completely free to join; if you’ve got great enthusiasm and a desire to make a difference while enjoying a great day out as well, then this is for you!
Learn more about the clean-ups and how to get involved here. Note that due to coronavirus, some activities may be temporarily postponed.
If you feel passionate about the work that Planet Patrol does, you can take your involvement one step further and become a Planet Patrol Community Guardian.
Community Guardians are the voice of Planet Patrol in local communities. Planet Patrol will support you to organise and lead local litter picks, engage your community, share their messages, and encourage local businesses and governments.
Applications for the next group of Guardians will open soon. If you’re interested in the programme, you can find out more here.
To those who say, ‘I’m just one person, I can’t stop big polluters or get governments to change’. WRONG! You can, and you can inspire and encourage more people to help too by taking the #5piecechallange. Here’s how:

An internship is a temporary job provided by an employer to give individuals, often students or recent graduates, practical experience in a specific industry or field. Internships can vary in length, ranging from a few weeks to several months, and typically involve tasks and responsibilities relevant to the industry or profession. Interns have the opportunity to learn new skills, gain exposure to real-world work environments, and often receive mentorship and guidance from experienced professionals in their field.
