Climate Cycle
3,000 miles.
3,000 trees funded.
30 sustainability projects.
1 bamboo bike.
On 5th June (World Environment Day), I leave on a 3-month adventure around mainland Britain talking with people, communities, organisations, charities and councils about what they’re doing to mitigate climate change.
30 projects. 1 mission
Climate Cycle’s mission is to inspire the nation into action around climate change.
Every project I’m visiting shares a unique way we can help save the planet.
Some projects are grassroots movements, such as gleaning food from farmland and beach cleanups and others are cutting edge technology tackling micro plastics in our cleaning products.
Some projects focus on nature-based solutions, re-wilding our seabeds and gardens and others resolve our imminent food shortage crisis such as foraging and vertical farming.

JOIN ME ON THE BIKE!
Cycle during Climate Cycle and I’ll plant one tree! I’ve partnered with Climategames and when you log your cycle using their app, I’ll fund one tree planted. Our goal is to plant 3,000 trees (representing each mile I’m cycling).
Will you join me?!
Click the link below to receive login details to help me fund one tree.
Do you want to join me in person? I cycle SUPER SLOW, and the focus is on fun & connection! Whether you want to cycle for 1-hour, 1-day or even 1-week, click the link and receive more detailed information on my dates & route:
