What we love in May 2019 - choose hope. Choose action. Choose a future.

We're bombarded with scary stories and told that we must change our ways, and soon. The challenge can’t be understated and the situation may seem bleak, but there’s still hope. More than ever before, individual actions can make a difference.

We’ve collected these tips and tools on easy changes we can make to help reduce our impact and make a positive, lasting difference.

You can also access lots more inspiring articles and information on the practical and positive stuff happening in our What We Love blog.

Climate change is a big challenge and requires action at a large scale by all levels of government and business.

The good news is that we’re not alone! Governments, local authorities, communities, cities, businesses, schools, and other organisations recognise the urgency and are taking action. Fighting like our lives depend on it; because they do.

There are many reasons to feel that we are at a critical turning point and creating a positive vision for the future and engaged in shaping it, rather than feeling disempowered.

Nature knows best when it comes to survival and self-governance and certainly is our greatest ally in locking carbon away and protecting our climate.

Nature is our greatest ally in locking carbon away and protecting our climate. Natural climate solutions like rewilding will make a massive difference to our planet's climate, and they're surprisingly simple - let nature get on with it.

We must all take action and also call on your government to make the political and financial commitment this cause deserves.

What follows are the main reasons why the climate emergency movement is bursting into mainstream.

Awareness is the first point of taking action. 

I am a firm believer that everyone is on their own journey of awareness.

By making people feel guilty it stops them becoming aware.

By slamming them with info it stops them becoming aware.

So in the following article we have just picked out the biggest threat articles. 

The following makes for depressing reading but remember we have the technology and power to be able to fix this problem. (We summarise this here)

"We need action, not hope on fighting Climate Change.” These words, spoken by 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg, are resonating around the world.

We can’t ignore climate change. It’s real and is causing serious changes to our planet, including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and deforestation. It’s wreaking havoc on our wildlife and habitats, while putting more and more people's lives and homes at risk across the globe.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are a conservative organisation and they’ve predicted we have 12 years to fix climate change, with urgent and unprecedented action, or we will have societal collapse.

Just 12 years.

During this critical time, we’re sharing information about climate change threats, impacts and solutions based on the scientific facts. Read this round-up for an overview of the indicators of climate change and the Environment Agency’s recent report provides comprehensive coverage on the impacts and adaptation measures.

On paper fixing climate change is easy- IF we change processes...is it worth it? Probably!

1) Switch to Renewable Energy

2) Switch to a Circular Economy

3) Reforest the Earth

4) Switch to veggie then vegan diet. 

This month’s tools and tips is focused on how we can address the climate emergency by implementing sustainable actions individually and within our workplaces and communities.

Don’t be fainthearted, just do it!

Doing nothing gets you nothing, that’s for sure. But the truth is everyone has the ability to take action.

We all have dreams and goals personally and professionally, and a vision of how this looks. But dreaming is the easy part. Where do we begin and how do we make it happen?

Taking positive action combined with positive thinking results in success.

After all, an idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied!

Are you ready to take action? Then read on and infuse your life with action!
