TV Shows and Films That Teach Your Children About Environmental Issues

Ok, I’m going to show my age now but when I was a kid my absolute favourite TV show was Captain Planet. Anyone remember that?

It’s a topic that has clearly been alive for over 30 years and when you begin to look closely at TV shows or films you really do notice how many cover these problems so I thought I’d provide a list of all the ones I’ve either heard of, been told about or researched because it is so important to keep the conversation going and to teach your children about all of our current environmental issues.

How Businesses Can Show Commitment To Sustainability

*Collaborative Post

There’s growing pressure on businesses to demonstrate that they care about the environment. Modern consumers are increasingly less likely to give their money to businesses that show disregard for the natural world, and plus, with governments around the world setting ambitious net-zero targets, any business that doesn’t take their carbon footprint is at risk of being left behind.

Every business knows that they should reduce printing to prevent paper wastage and turn off their lights when they’re not in use. That’s basic energy-saving 101. To really establish themselves as businesses that are good for the environment, companies must show a more robust commitment to sustainability. In this post, we’ll run through a host of tips that businesses can adopt that’ll affirm that they’re not just a business that’s good for the planet, but that they’re businesses of the future.
