Residents have been doing their bit to stop global warming by taking part in one of Merton Council's series of Love your Environment Fun Days.
The most recent event, held at the Tandem Centre in Colliers Wood, saw families take part in a range of games and activities aimed at promoting a greener lifestyle.
Other entertainment and live music was provided by youth drama group Stage Coach and Radio Jackie.
Merton's environment director, Lyn Carpenter, said: "It is our responsibility to put our residents' futures first and lead the way in playing our part to protect the planet.

"But we need residents' help so we can increase the amount of waste we recycle and minimise the amount of waste we produce."
A further environment day has been planned to take place on May 10 at Wimbledon Piazza in the Broadway starting at 11.30am and finishing at 4pm.
The recycling, waste minimisation, anti-litter and anti-graffiti teams behind the Love your Environment Days will also be at the Mitcham Carnival on June 14.
