Let's celebrate Earth Day together by starting a 21-day journey of compassionate actions!
The Global Action Days 2021, in partnership with Now.Here., will mobilise youth and adults from all over the world to take small positive actions that have a great impact on our own and our Earth’s wellbeing. The campaign is divided into three weeks, each with an important overarching goal:
Week 1 - Protect Global Biodiversity
Week 2 - Reduce Environmental Pollution
Week 3 - Empower Climate Action
Learn more about the campaign here.

Action 1: Nature Dipping
Take a 10-minute walk in a green space. It can be a nearby forest, park, beach, or even your own garden/under a tree. For 30 seconds, close your eyes, stand or sit still, relax, breathe, and just listen to your surroundings.
Open your eyes and look around for a flower, plant, bird, or insect that you find beautiful or interesting. Take a photo of it and share it on Facebook/Instagram with a caption that shares two things that you appreciate about the plant or animal in the photo. Remember to add the hashtag #MyActionsMatter.

Kristina Madsen and Pramod Kumar Sharma from the FEE Head Office have already been out "Nature Dipping" in Copenhagen. "I chose to take a photo of this small blue flower that is very common this time of year in Denmark. I love it for it's colour and the fact that it's a sign of spring! Also, I just learnt that it's called 'Glory of the Snow' - quite a name!", Kristina says.
