Co-op Big Green Week

Co-op Big Green Week is celebrated annually, occurring around the 8th and 16th of June every year. This week-long event is dedicated to community action to tackle climate change and protect nature, organised by The Climate Coalition.

The Great Big Green Week is the UK’s largest celebration of community efforts to address climate change and safeguard our natural environment. This year’s campaign focuses on the impactful swaps everyone can make to create a better tomorrow.

Participants, including members, customers, and colleagues, are encouraged to make simple swaps such as choosing Fairtrade coffee, sharing food waste tips or leftover recipe ideas, opting for walking or public transport instead of driving, and transforming disused green spaces into wildflower gardens. By taking part in these activities or hosting their own events, communities can unite to make meaningful changes for the planet.

To celebrate Co-op Big Green Week on your social media and digital channels, here are some content ideas to engage your audience and promote sustainability:

• Share stories of individuals and communities making impactful swaps.
• Post before-and-after photos of transformed green spaces or wildflower gardens.
• Create video tutorials on making eco-friendly swaps, like Fairtrade coffee or public transport tips.
• Feature daily eco-challenges encouraging followers to try different swaps each day.
• Host a live Q&A with environmental experts or community leaders about climate action.
• Develop infographics on the benefits of each suggested swap.
• Organise a social media takeover by local environmental advocates or influencers.
• Launch a photo contest where participants showcase their green activities using a specific hashtag.
