We want to inspire you to make more sustainable choices this Christmas by making little changes to the way you shop, decorate your home and wrap your presents all while saving the planet! We all love to spread some festive cheer at this time of year, so listen up for our hacks on how to be your very own Santa's Elf by wrapping your unique Christmas gifts in a sustainable way...brown paper and twine at the ready! If we all made an effort to reuse more of our wrapping this year...we could reduce the 227,000 miles of wrapping paper going to landfill...! And don't forget to reuse those gift bags!!

  2. The Revolution From Below.

    The Revolution From Below.

    The small business inspiration special! Our guest Lucy is the founder of Hey Kiddo Co (@heykiddoco on Instagram) and innovated her own closed water cycle to clean the dirty water created from making her beautiful Jesmonite homewares instead of contaminating the water system. Lucy talks how to be more sustainable when running a small business and we discuss handy hacks on how to shop more consciously too. The urgency of the climate crisis has been recognised by so many small businesses, a force that is the revolution pushing for change from below and urging the corporate companies, who ultimate hold the power for change, to lead us into a more sustainable future. Yet for now, it is the small businesses who will need to set the example by finding innovations, taking joy in the process and inspiring others by the transparency of how it's made.  This Christmas, please check out small businesses to shop for your gifts, starting with gorgeous pots, trays and coasters from Hey Kiddo Co! Find her here: Handcrafted Terrazzo Homeware | Hey Kiddo Co. | Liverpool, United Kingdom For any other businesses looking to recycle and filter their waste water, check out Lucy's blog post: Creating a Gravity-Fed Water Filter for Jesmonite AC100 in 6 Steps (heykiddoco.co.uk) To educate yourself about why we have boycotted the egg industry, see this link, but please note knowledge is power to make a conscious decision!

    The Conscious Consumer

    As the dust settles after the frenzy of Black Friday, we invited Liz to discuss the realities of overconsumption in the fast fashion world.  She is at the forefront in the war against throwaway fashion by advocating investing in second-hand vintage garments rather than lining the pockets of the money-driven CEOs of the fast fashion giants as well as polluting the planet with cheap clothing that will still be around long after us.

  4. Say No to No Sayers

    Say No to No Sayers

    Terry's mantra to "being vegan in between meals" changed to "let's be vegan today" just over a year ago, which is an impressive feat for a lifelong omnivore. We discuss his challenges, fears and confidence issues that held him back from making this change and the relief and gratitude he felt when he overcame them and accepted his plant-based diet. We touch on the myths and theories surrounding veganism as well as the tips and tricks to try and cut out meat and dairy if you just want to try more plant-based meals. We learn that being vegan is not as daunting as people may think as long as we try and be open-minded and accepting of others then they world could be a much better place!
