about
why we do what we do.
we believe that action is the best cure for eco-anxiety.
climate action isn't only protests, pamphlets and policies (although those are absolutely critical!). climate action also takes the shape of everyday environmentalism, the act of just trying your best for the planet.
from tree planting, to food rescue and zero waste markets, there is always a way to bring climate action into your plans!
circular city mcr is here to bring everyday environmentalism to life.
we put a spotlight on the people & organisation who really care about building a greener world.
manchester is home to an amazingly vibrant & welcoming planet-friendly movement. start exploring it today!
