I'm all about the animals and I'm going to be all about the blogging too
Toiletries were products I had never thought about carrying much of a threat to the environment, as long as they aren’t tested on animals then they’re ok, right? When I found out about plastic microbeads in face scrubs and body wash a few years ago I immediately started to phase them out of my life. … More Green Lifestyle: Men’s Toiletries
Keeping in mind my last two posts mentioning plastic waste, when I read a Guardian article today titled ‘Swedish Supermarkets Replace Sticky Labels With Ease Marking‘ my heart leapt with joy! Whilst keeping conscious of the waste involved from the items I take home, I have found it frustrating that seemingly waste-free options (like bananas out of plastic … More LASERS!!
I think it’s no secret that plastic is a huge problem; it’s useful, cheap and lasts a hell of a long time! The versatility of plastic is damaging the environment and a whole range of products are to blame. The plastic bag ban in England has been tremendously successful with more people using their own bags therefore … More The Urban Environmentalist Starter Kit

If you have genuinely been super duper busy then let me fill you in: The Hive is an impressive aluminium structure designed … More All in a Buzz
4pm Sunday. The Autumn light casts a beautiful soft glow across the River Colne and its wild surroundings. Walking through the grass I can see patches still covered in dew, untouched by the sun throughout the day. I feel alone but not lonely. The goal of this walk is to find a Reeve’s muntjac so I … More A Lesson in Luck
Tonight I went for a walk with the Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust in Harpendon Common. It wasn’t a long walk, but we weren’t there to get the miles in, we were there to find bats! Bats are not the winged-terrors that Halloween would suggest. Vampire bats do exist in the Americas, not the UK or Transylvania, … More What animal blows raspberries in the night?
There isn’t currently a way of finding out the population of every known species living in the UK, a way of examining each habitat, or seeing how either have fared over the last few decades, but the State of Nature Report is the closest we’ve come in recent years. This comprehensive report is the … More The State of Nature Report 2016
