2022 is off to a promising start, with many glimmers of eco-hope popping up across the globe, and new ideas revolutionising the way we interact with the world around us …

Let’s start with the whopping bottom line: Cities consume over two thirds of the world’s energy.

Year after year, social media’s ability to know us gets spookier and spookier…And one platform that’s well and truly flexing its psychic abilities at the moment is Pinterest! Through their yearly roundup, Pinterest Predicts, they lay out what they expect the biggest lifestyle, fashion and home...

In 2022, more of us than ever before want to do what we can to support and heal our struggling planet. This can look different for everyone. However, whether you’re taking action to prompt systemic change, or are simply swapping one not-so-eco product for an eco one, there’s no denying that ther...

It goes without saying that this year has had its ups and downs, but as we edge our way into 2022, we want to highlight the times that December has shone above the rest in the world of sustainability. There have been some brilliant steps in the right direction last month and, of course, we have to s...

As we near the end of the year already, the seasons have started to shift. Leaves are turning from green to gold, the temperature is dropping and the sun is dipping earlier and earlier each evening. But the seasons aren’t the only thing shifting right now. There’s a distinct waft of a breakthrou...

With the raging wildfires across Europe, snow in Brazil and rain for possibly the first time on Greenland’s ice sheet, it may seem like there are no positive stories when it comes to the health of our planet right now. 

Summer is well underway, and with that comes plenty of opportunity to embrace the wonderful outdoors and nature around us. But to enjoy it we need to protect it, and looking after our environment has never been as important as it is now. We must continue to strive towards change, take positive actio...

Welcome to the April edition of Wearth London’s ‘Positive Eco News’ blog post series! We’ve got quite the international selection of stories this month, with news from the UK, news from across the pond in the USA, and news from within the pond (well, the ocean) in between. Think: Wales, whal...

While 2020 proves too tricky to sum up in one word according to the Oxford Languages Word of the Year (though ‘unprecedented’ would definitely a be contender in our opinion!), in 2019 it was announced to be ‘climate emergency‘. Of course, this year we’ve been pretty bu...

When your metal straws are always to hand and your reusable makeup pads are simply routine, watching the world catch up with climate change is pretty overwhelming. Whether you’re starting out with sustainability or an eco-friendly expert, it often feels like the big headlines ignore the li...

The average person in the UK spends 1 hour and 50 minutes a day on social media. As recent TikTok converts, we certainly understand the pull of scrolling! For many of us, hopping onto social media for a few minutes (or hours…) has become second nature. Checking in with friends and people we foll...

In our current climate, it can be easy to become pessimistic about the future of our planet. Wildfires across the globe from the US to Siberia. Trump contradicting scientific consensus, claiming that the earth “will get cooler” even if we continue down our current path. The Artic’s largest ...

Predictions suggest that by 2050, a massive 40% of the world’s carbon emissions will be generated thanks to tourism. Now that’s a stat that will make even the biggest sun lover do a double-take. Most of us know by now that flying and the travel industry aren’t exactly great for the planet. Bu...
