Bouncing back from adversity can be exhausting.

The challenge for us all is to ensure that, in the midst of coping with the pandemic, we don’t miss the life-changing, planet-saving opportunity we’ve been given.

We must counter difficulties with resilience and keep on working towards a new and better normal with persistence.

However, often the challenges can seem overwhelming, self-doubt and despair begins to take over and we feel like throwing in the towel.

But, giving up is actually the most common form of failure. Here we have gathered a round-up of inspirational stories and ideas that show anything is possible with a healthy dose of grit and determination.

You’re in the thick of it. Covid-19 is taking centre stage, but the climate crisis is still waiting in the wings.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has emphasised that we must pursue a green, resilient and inclusive economic recovery. Nevertheless, we have to remember that the pandemic probably won’t automatically bring everyone to their senses and provide the correct course of action.

And it isn’t going to happen overnight either.

We’ve written about seizing the moment and bouncing forward previously, but we’re in for the long haul and the need for action remains urgent. So, we must think smarter, stay focused, and adopt a bold and positive mindset.

Here we have ideas and inspiration to help you stay persistent and determined, no matter how disheartened you may feel, in the continued fight for a better, fairer future.

Hang in there and stay tenacious!

Hello Everyone,

The Covid-19 pandemic has turned the world upside down. It has exposed major weaknesses in the economy as well as deep-seated inequalities in our society.

Yet, our sudden, dramatic shift to a less carbon-intensive lifestyle reveals the scope of what we can achieve in just days.

As the world recovers, we have a chance to reset the clock and build back better than before. We have written about why we need to seize the moment previously, but now we need to continue and the build momentum.

What happens next could change everything.

These actionable tips and tool will keep us moving forward to drive the necessary changes to survive and flourish in a post-pandemic world.

It was impossible to imagine this reality at the beginning of 2020 and yet here we are, with new habits and changed working and social environments. We accepted and adapted quickly.

So where to now?

Hello Warp It Admins, this article is for you.

We want to clear up a little idiosyncrasy that crops up every now and again on our platform - the case of rejecting staff members…

What's happened?

Our customers often have different ways of dealing with electrical items.

Some customers use Warp It to redistribute surplus electricals around their estate and beyond.

However some customers have this feature turned off all together. 

In the hope of  increasing the reuse of electrical items we are tweaking this process on feedback from existing customers.  

What is the the problem we are seeking to solve?

Once an electrical item is added the person adding the item doesn't necessarily know what happens next with the item. They might assume it is put up for donation or collected for recycling. 

Nik Hunt from Loughborough University rightly pointed out that this ambiguity was not a good way to manage that part of the process.  So in the hope of giving the end user as much info as they need in order to make the process smoother we have introduced a new feature.
