Should I be doing something about climate change?

Don’t worry, I haven’t done a 180 spin on my opinions of climate change.

It then went on to detail the impacts ofContinue reading “Should I be doing something about climate change?”

My New Phone Case

So my old phone case was beginning to fall apart. This was entirely my own fault – I picked it apart at the corners until bits started falling off as a nervous tick. So after months of thinking about it and feeling guilty about making any sort of purchase, I finally bought another one andContinue reading “My New Phone Case”

Why do we want to plant trees?

You may have noticed when flicking through people’s stories on Instagram that everyone has been sharing photos of their pets with a sticker saying ‘we’ll plant 1 tree for every pet picture’. So where did this trend come from and what is it about? And, what about the wider trend of planting trees as aContinue reading “Why do we want to plant trees?”
