Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the fact that people in power often don’t prioritise the needs of children. HOW are school libraries NOT a statutory requirement?! HOW is CAMHS so pitifully underfun…

What is Sustainable?

A tree is sustainable. We need to plant three BILLION by 2050 in the UK alone to combat Climate Crisis. Almost every area will have people who can help you plant trees, a tree for you to plant and an area to plant it in – but planting is only the first step. Trees have to be nurtured like any other plant, and watered and fed and checked on until the are old enough to survive alone. Trees are…

There are only around 29,000 rhinos left in the wild, compared to 500,000 at the beginning of the 20th century. Some species are critically endangered.
