Letters to Tomorrow: Guide for organisers

As part of this year’s Great Big Green Week, we’re asking everyone to write Letters to Tomorrow. Letters to Tomorrow explain peoples’ hopes for future generations if our leaders step up to protect the environment – and fears about what life could be like if we don’t slow down climate change.

This guide outlines how to write Letters to Tomorrow and how you can get involved during Great Big Green Week – either by incorporating letter writing into your existing plans, or by organising a dedicated event.
