Businesses have a key role to play in making a better world, and on Friday 20 September, Shared Earth, along with Ben & Jerry’s, Patagonia, Lush and other concerned retailers, is closing its shops from 9.00 to 1.00 to support a worldwide action to tackle the climate crisis.

This will lose us a few sales but life is not just about profit! There are more important issues and we at Shared Earth believe we have a responsibility to do everything we can to raise awareness about global warming.

If you’d like to join us outside our shops (Bold Street, Liverpool and Minster Gates, York) you will be very welcome. If you’re a retailer, have you thought about closing your shop from 9.00 to 1.00 on 20 September, to show your customers how much you care?
