Our campaigns and projects

Below you will find a short description of the campaigns and projects we are associated with, promote or actively initiate. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require more information or wish to get involved.


1. V-Network Project

Initiated in 2009, the project aims to create a volunteer network of local conservation groups from around the world. The network is intended to increase the exchange of ideas and improve communication between groups that might not otherwise work together. The project is particulary seeking to link small isolated groups in developing countries that are willing to cooperate with similar groups and share their volunteer force to reach their individual goals. Each group that joins in increases the strength of the network and ultimately the overall effectiveness by their combined actions.

2. Campaign against Climate change

The New Environmentalist site has been launched in December 2009 as a direct response to the failures of the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Summit. We strongly believe that anything short of a legally binding agreement is simply not good enough if we are to stop climate change. We are therefore committed to campaigning for a binding agreement and our volunteers are currently working on our own response to the summit.
The start point of our campaign was “The Wave” march in London on the 5th December 2009, please see our Media page [ click here ]

3. The New Environmentalist Cycling Campaign

This campaign aims to raise awareness of the importance of cycling as an alternative means of transport in urban environments. By encouraging people to cycle more, rather than driving, we can all live healthier lives while at the same reducing pollution and benefiting the planet. We hope our campaign will motivate and encourage local groups. We seek partnerships with similar groups and aim to take part in cycling events throughout UK. 2010 was our second year of taking part in the London Bikeathon, which aims to promote cycling in London, while raising money for charity. You can join our team in the 2011 London Bikeathon here. We have been inspired and motivated in this campaign by one of our Senior Advisors and veteran cyclist: Ricardo Simon. He is currently attempting to cycle a full circle along the boarders of Brazil to raise awareness of the need to encourage cycling in urban environments.
