Category: Eco Living

My eco topics category is my latest addition to my blog. I decided to make changes to my lifestyle in 2018 because I knew we needed to take steps to become more eco-friendly. It began with the change to reusable nappies and wipes and from there I made a promise to continue to try and find other ways to improve our wasteful ways and at the same time offer up tips, advice and hopefully inspire others.

Making these changes has had such a positive impact on us as a family. We are enjoying finding new ways of doing things, we love talking about it with others and we are saving money too! Such a win! Eco topics are now a huge passion of mine and I hope you will enjoy them as much as we are.

TV Shows and Films That Teach Your Children About Environmental Issues

Posted on January 7, 2025January 7, 2025 by Emma Reed

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? Oh my, that theme tune! ‘Captain Planet, he’s a hero, gonna take pollution down to zero!’ Anyway, I started to think about what was available now for children to learn about climate change, our environment, pollution and so on. 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

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.
