Welcome to you hub of all things environment and sustainable – from tech and food to everything else plant-based  

Everyone looks for shortcuts and efficiencies - can I make a pizza dough without leaving it to rise? Can I do 10% less and still pass my course? Can I still be considered ‘green’ if I recycle paper but not food waste? 

Recyclable packaging will go to land-fill if more than 5% of it is stained with food or other organic materials. Read about our recommendations for how to recycle effectively. 

A watershed moment in my recycling-life (very worthy of its own category...alongside my social life and work life), was on a visit to a waste plant in London’s hinterlands. Here I discovered that recyclable packaging will go to land-fill if more than 5% of it is stained / soiled with food or other organic materials.

Partnering with local communities to encourage sustainable tree planting benefits the environment but also makes a huge difference to people and their communities too

One thing we can do to combat climate change is remove excess carbon from our atmosphere, and planting trees is one of the most effective nature-based solutions that exists to do this. Whenever you recommend allplants to a friend through our Refer A Friend scheme, we plant a tree in Zambia with the help of WeForest. 

Can planting more trees empower communities and save the planet?

A tech-centric approach to sustainability and carbon emissions undermines the value in readily available, relatively cheap and extremely high impact nature-based solutions.

We’re living in a time of unprecedented technological change that some are calling the ‘new industrial revolution’. Developments have meant we can now ‘print’ medical devices and cars are literally parking themselves. It’s also proving an exciting time for ‘green-tech’, with developments in carbon capture which have seen the first ‘drawn-down’ of a ton of CO2 for under $100 by ‘Carbon Engineering’ - an important step in proving the viability of carbon dioxide removal. But these sorts of developments tend to make us feel like there’s breathing room and a group of people ‘out there’ with THE answer to climate change. This is dangerous at a time when the scale of our efforts are already vastly mis-matched to the scale of the issue. 

Why Tech Alone Won’t Change The Climate Crisis

We think not. In fact, we think the statistics around soy are compelling arguments to eat more plants. Here’s why.

We've trawled the research to find the truth about soy and we think it’s more complicated than the common arguments against this little legume would have us believe. Is soy single-handedly responsible for destroying the environment? We think not.

We believe the world (and everyone on it) would be better off if we ate more plants. As it stands, our food system isn’t in a good place; we use more, emit more, pollute more and waste more than the Earth could ever replace or absorb, value isn’t equally distributed, food and nutrition isn’t equally accessed and murky supply chains hide resource intensive practices and human rights violations.

2020 is a big year for tackling climate change. So we’ve put together some tips for making ‘little leaps’ that will have a big impact. Because it’s a leap year. Clever, right?

One positive of lockdown is the free time we've had to read the books that have been gathering dust on our shelves for years. Because as well as beating the boredom, it's a great way to explore the earth around us and our impact, without even leaving the sofa.

Must-Read Books About The Environment and Climate Change

Of the widely accepted sustainable consumer habits, shopping local is right up there. It makes intuitive sense to keep money in the local community, diversifying our economy and knowing that the produce you buy there hasn’t travelled as far, and therefore caused as many emissions. Both very valid points and I’m not here to throw a spanner in the works or confuse anyone into inaction. I applaud anyone who is committed to shopping in this way, but there are a few caveats to consider when shopping for things like strawberries and tomatoes.
