About
What if you could inspire young people and their communities to take meaningful action against climate change – achieving rapid, measurable reductions in pollution and carbon emissions, helping the UK reach its net-zero goals?
Our Planet Needs You™ educates school students on low-carbon lifestyles, empowering them to lead by example and inspire those around them to adopt positive, sustainable habits that can drive behaviour change nationwide.
It all starts with a story.
Book and 9 initiatives inspired by the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London’s 9 Things You Can Do About Climate Change.

Behaviour change alone won’t meet the UK's 2050 target, but it can contribute significantly to the reductions needed.
This is because over 70% of CO2 emissions come from household consumption – from heating our homes and driving cars to the food we eat and goods we buy.
Reducing household consumption means reducing CO2 emissions.
Together with systemic reform and innovation, behaviour change plays a vital role in closing the emissions gap and building a sustainable future.
For the people, by the people.
Our Planet Needs You™ is about youth and community-led climate action.
Let’s build a better future together!

Heart of The Tribe sponsors Our Planet Needs You
Art | Community | Climate Action
Located in Glastonbury, Somerset, Heart of The Tribe is a contemporary, community art gallery driven by the belief that art holds transformative power; offering connection, healing, and support for mental wellbeing.
The gallery champions emerging and local artists, offering a space for creative expression and personal storytelling that inspires, uplifts, and fosters genuine connection.
Staying true to its mission of backing projects that enrich the community, Heart of The Tribe has generously sponsored Our Planet Needs You [OPNY] during its launch year.
This support has unlocked vital match funding from the School for Social Entrepreneurs, helping power OPNY’s transition from a successful pilot in 3 schools to a 10 school rollout across Hammersmith & Fulham this coming September.
Julian Clark, founder of Heart of The Tribe, shares why supporting OPNY felt like a natural fit:
“When I first learned about OPNY, I was inspired by its clear, simple, and actionable steps to reduce carbon emissions and waste –backed by a way to measure the impact.
It offers a practical pathway towards net zero in the UK while also uniting communities in meaningful collective action.”
We're proud to have the support of partners like Heart of The Tribe as we work to empower the next generation to lead the charge on climate action through creativity, collaboration, and local impact.
