Since the start of Contented Earth, my mantra has been: Eco Learn, Eco Hope, Eco Act.

I know I seem always happy, always confident, always positive, but there is part of me that is simply desperate to give up. To just stop. To walk away. To no longer feel the despair, the...

With the Summer holidays fast approaching, many Brits will be thinking of jetting off from the UK to sunnier shores. If you’re planning to hop on a plane this Summer, have you ever thought about the carbon cost of your holiday?
