Ah yes, a word we’re all growing more familiar with. Offsetting has become a bit of a buzzword when it comes to sustainability, with more and more people, organisations and governments using it as a tactic for reaching net zero. Sounds great right? Well, this week I’ll be discussing the two sides of offsetting toContinue reading “How About…Offsetting?”

I thought that I’d use this opportunity to explain my new job to you and let you know what I’m getting up to. Who am I working for?

DIY Air freshener

How About… Chocolate?
I think we can all agree that chocolate is a pretty universally loved food.

Do Individual Actions Make a Difference to Climate Change?
One of the questions I get asked the most is whether small things like eating less meat, using a bamboo toothbrush or composting your veg scraps make any real difference in the grand scheme of things. This is a really difficult question to answer, so I thought I’d talk about both sides of the argument.Continue reading “Do Individual Actions Make a Difference to Climate Change?”
Are the Super-wealthy Climate Superheroes or Climate Supervillains?
Originally posted on WILD Magazine:
Performativity, or the potential to create lasting change? Lucy Allis examines the role of the super-wealthy in combatting climate change. Recently there have been lots of news stories about billionaires pumping money into climate change, particularly carbon capture.
