This year National Recycle Week runs from 14th-20th October. This year's theme is 'Rescue Me', and focuses on rescuing recyclable items from the rubbish bin. At 2Simple, we have collected a range of activities on Purple Mash, that you can use in class to encourage everyone to recycle.

Join in with the Geographical Association's National Festival of Fieldwork throughout the month of June with resources on Purple Mash. This year's theme is 'Fieldwork for Everyone' which links to their 2024 Conference, and is a flexible and adaptable theme.

On World Ocean Day, 8th June, people around our blue planet will be coming together to celebrate and honour our ocean. The ocean connects us all, between countries and across the world and by working together, we must protect and restore our oceans. The 2024 Action Theme is 'Catalyzing Action for Our Ocean and Climate', whilst continuing to support the growing 30x30 movement, which was last year's theme (to protect at least 30% of our blue planet by 2030).

To teach your students about World Oceans Day, we have several resources on Purple Mash that you can use.

World Environment Day is celebrated every year on the 5th June and is organised by the United Nations to raise awareness of our planet and the environment. This year the focus is #BeatPlasticPollution. Help raise awareness and understanding of the environmental issues facing our planet in your classroom with these Purple Mash activities.
