Brought to you by the people at We Are Change, this is honest, beautiful and interesting. I can *really* relate to this video. Day in and day out I ride the London’s underground and buses alongside millions of other people. Millions of interesting, unique, different and alike, other people. Yet no one says a word.… Continue reading Just Keeping Going

Ethical Fashion in the Age of Austerity
Last night, I popped into the Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green to check out an event hosted by Papered Palour, called “Ethical Fashion in the Age of Austerity. The evening was full of live workshops, great speakers, loads of activities and plenty of craft stalls. Such a brilliant night. Making and mending are increasingly… Continue reading Ethical Fashion in the Age of Austerity
Cuddle
This is *probably* one of my all-time favourite Green Thing videos. It’s beautiful to watch and the message is spot on. Cuddle someone you love. It’s nice, makes you happy and most importantly, it’s a great way to stay warm. I’d pick human heat over central heating any day!
Spotted on the High Road
Ah, how funny branding can be. It’s all in the name. Here are a few jems I spotted while out and about last week.
Stop the Meter. Please.
As a person who a) plans to return to Canada in the not so distant future and b) has spent the past 4 years working in the internet realm this whole “Metered Internet Use” legislation being thrown around in Canada is pretty scary. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has passed a ruling that… Continue reading Stop the Meter. Please.
Born to Walk
Yet another lovely piece of walking inspiration from Do The Green Thing. Born to Walk is all about our lives spent walking. One third of our life is spent walking. We walk over 3000 steps per day. Watch this video and get out walking – we were born to walk through life.
This is the 21st Century, Right?
On Saturday I was watching the Liverpool v. Wolverhampton match and to my delight I saw that there was a woman running the lines. It is very uncommon and rarely happens that you’ll see a female official in a premier league match. In fact, Sian Massey is the second woman official in the premier league… Continue reading This is the 21st Century, Right?
Have You Got One Minute To Save The World?
1 Minute to Save the World, an environmental non-profit organisation is running a video competition for people under the age of 18. They’re after original, inspiring, creative and clever video content from the younger generation about how climate change is affecting them personally or culturally. It’s a lovely idea and there is some amazing quality… Continue reading Have You Got One Minute To Save The World?
Animals and Advertising
A while ago, I read a fascinating article in the Guardian, “Payback time for Tigers and Polar Bears” by Ed Gillespie. Ed explores the idea of advertisers paying for imagery rights when using animals and other parts of the natural world to promote a commercial product. The idea is novel, and also timely as we… Continue reading Animals and Advertising
