How to Help WWF this January

As the new year rolls in, it’s the perfect time to embrace small actions that make a big difference for wildlife and the planet. January is about fresh starts, setting intentions, and reconnecting with nature, so why not begin 2024 by helping protect endangered species and the habitats they call home? From making small switches to supporting your local wildlife, here are three impactful ways you can help this month.

Start 2024 off in the best way by picking some simple ways to support WWF and our planet!

WWF’s Sustainable New Year’s Resolution Ideas

• Join WWF as a member today!
  • We’re bringing our world back to life, and we couldn’t do it without your support. As of 2024, WWF has helped raise black rhino numbers from less than 400 to more than 1000! See how else people like you are helping all corners of our world in the video below. For 2025, help us achieve even more by becoming a WWF member.
• Make simple, sustainable switches to your everyday life
  • Big changes don’t happen overnight! Have a read of our eco-friendly ideas below and see if you could give them a go. 
    • Switch to a reusable plastic bottle. Switching can save prevent single-use plastic ending up in landfill. Have a browse of our WWF eco-friendly water bottles.
    • Invest in energy saving and water conserving appliances this year – choose energy-efficient kettles, toasters and light bulbs if yours break, and low-flow showerheads.
    • Turning down the temperature on clothes washes by just 10 degrees can reduce the energy used in a wash cycle by up to 40%. 
    • Turning devices off at the plug can also save up to £40 a year! And remember to turn off radiators in rooms that you don’t use to save energy.
• Adopt an animal with WWF
  • Lots of iconic animal species desperately need your help in 2025. With options to adopt an animal that cost less than the price of your morning coffee each month, adopting an animal represents a meaningful way to give to animals that need it most.
