basics

diet.

It’s hard to ignore the science that tells us overconsumption of meat damages the environment. I’m by no means telling you the only way forward is for the world to become vegan, but I do believe that in the UK, USA and Australia especially we could stand to all eat a little less meat. Did you know it takes 600 gallons of water to make just one hamburger? I am personally reducing my meat intake, but even having a vegetarian week is a good place to start.

plastic.

We all know about the damage plastic can do to the environment. Blue Planet II did a great job of bringing this issue into mainstream conversation, yet it doesn’t seem to have made it into the minds of everyone if we look at the state the beaches have been left in since lockdown lifted!

Reducing plastic use can be as easy as buying a bag for life, choosing a brand of fruit or veg that’s sold loose or finding a shop that sells in a ‘no waste’ format.

talk about it.

Shockingly, not everyone knows about conservation initiatives. The great thing is that in todays world, everyone has a voice.

If you’re reading up on an issue you’re interested in, documenting and talking about your thoughts, feeling and progress around that issue can help others to learn about things they might not have come across before. You don’t have to work as a conservationist to be a conservationist, in my eyes.

Even if you’re a London based finance worker, chatting to people about free ways in which they can shift their behaviour to make the planet a better place is just as important as working on the conservation front line.

We can’t do this alone.
