2 ABOUT GO GREEN DAY Thank you for your interest in participating in this year s Go Green Day. Every October we run Go Green Day and ask businesses throughout Wales to join in and help protect an area of tropical forest the size of Wales. This is an important and ongoing challenge. Tropical forests play an important and direct role in helping counteract climate change they currently absorb nearly a fifth of the world s man-made CO 2 emissions every year. With your help we can protect even more forests. This year we are making it even easier for you to get involved. Our Go Green Day pack has ideas on how you can raise money and awareness within your workplace. We have posters and we will be giving out certificates to all those that have contributed to Go Green Day All money raised will be doubled by Size of Wales. If you raise 250 then 500 goes directly to the forest projects we work with in Africa and South America
