Welcome - Environmental initiatives in London

Whether it is the streets outside our homes or the challenges of climate change, the environment matters.

Nowhere more so than in London are the challenges of the environment more acute and nowhere are there so many initiatives working towards a cleaner and brighter future.

In our new channel Look After London we showcase the inspirational stories of ordinary Londoners making a difference.

Whether you want to know how you can help to ease the 350-400k tonnes of furniture sent by Londoners to landfill each year – or find out what you can do to help clean up the capital's waterways, follow us over the next month as we go behind the scenes of some of the most interesting projects.

Come back each day to see how you can make a difference in topics including: Trees for the capital; cycling; urban walking; conserving green spaces; recycling and even London's birdlife.
