The Young People's Trust for the Environment is a charity which aims to encourage young people's understanding of the environment and the need for sustainability.

With climate change being such a big issue for us all, there has probably never been a more important time for environmental education.

We provide free environmental information and services for schools and young people.  You can find out more about them using the links above.

By visiting this website, you are joining a growing number of people seeking information about the environmental issues that matter to you. Almost 4.2 million pages were downloaded by over 1.7 million visitors in 2010-11.

Throughout the site, you will find ways in which you can help.  Our planet faces huge environmental challenges as a result of human activity and you may feel powerless to help.  But you CAN have an impact, however small and everything you do to help the environment DOES make a difference!  Remember this:

"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little."
Edmund Burke 1729 - 1797
