If you’re like me, you might have constantly conflicting feelings about travel On one hand I can’t help but feel a little bit guilty about all the associated impacts. But of course on the other hand there are the benefits of that travel for both the traveler and they places they go to. This usually results in a very confused conscience. So to help clear things up a little, mayb

Bonus Episode! Your actions and how you make the world a better place, this Earth Day.

Apr 21 2024 7 mins  
Caring about the environment can be quite isolating. The news is rarely cheerful about the state of the planet (despite plenty of good things going on) and that is leading to skyrocketing rates of eco-anxiety even in children as young as five. There is a general sense of apathy is settling in amongst people who are beginning to feel it is too late. It certainly isn't. And I d

It's Earth Day! So let's talk about... Sharks. And if they all die, we will too.

Happy Earth Day everyone! It can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people and this year I have decided to make it about sharks. Obviously. I am obviously somewhat obsessed with sharks, but people are so scared of them, sometimes to the point of wanting to cull them all. But sharks are essential for our planet and I am going to explain why and how you can help the

When it comes to being sustainable there is often a lot of bullshit we have to wade through in order to find the right way to live AND help the environment. There is honestly a shitload of myths around sustainability and in this episode we are going to be shining a light on the top 10 so that you’ll know what to choose and what to avoid. Some of these were suggested by you on Ins

Can you have an ethical Easter? Chocolate is rife with stuff like child labour and environmental destruction. Here's how to avoid it.

Mar 24 2024 17 mins  
It’s Easter time and we are all rushing to the stores to buy pointless, over packaged Easter eggs. While we love the taste of chocolate it’s a sad fact that ever sale further supports forced labour and environmental destruction. I have spoken about this before and received a cease and desist letter from a chocolate company, even though everything I said was all factually correc

Plastic sucks! So let's put everything in glass... right? What's better; glass, plastic or aluminium?

Mar 17 2024 14 mins  
We are back! Thank you for your patience while we sorted out a bit of our workload, but your reward is that this week we are doing one of my favourite episodes. It has taken a lot of research and a lot of reading that made me really quite f*cking angry about the way we do things. Today we are talking about what is actually good for the environment, Plastic glass or aluminium and on

It's definitely not too late! Your dose of hope for our planet.

Feb 18 2024 12 mins  
There’s something I’ve been seeing a lot of on social media lately. Ecoapathy. Ecoanxiety. There is a growing number of people who are not only angry and apathetic but also saying “what is the point, it’s too late now to prevent climate catastrophe’.This is a mindset that is actually dangerous to the environmental cause, especially since it is actually not too late to fix

Yes... your lawn sucks for the environment (sorry...)

Feb 04 2024 9 mins  
This week we’re going to talk about lawns. They look great, right? They're soft to walk on, I guess they're nice enough to look at. They're great for backyard cricket if you are one of those people. But they're actually pretty shit for the environment. For a long time I’ve been a big advocate for just digging up all lawns, but if you don’t quite understand why

There is no such thing as the perfect environmentalist!

Jan 21 2024 20 mins  
I have had enough of trolls and the idea of the perfect environmentalist. I’m sure many of you have seen or experienced random people on the internet tearing down anyone’s attempts at being eco friendly by pointing out other areas where they have failed to do so. There is no such thing as a perfect environmentalist and anyone who claims there is, is either deluded, or using the

New Year Resolutions - or what you can do at home this year, to lighten your impact on the planet.

Jan 14 2024 16 mins  
Today we're going to focus on resolutions. I know, nobody keeps resolutions, so let's call them goals. This episode is all about sustainability goals for our personal lives, because yes, we need systemic change to change the world, but we can also do our bit with individual action. Now this is going to cover a whole range of topics and if you can pick up and try even one of
