Following on from our latest blog on the positives (and perils) of referencing sustainability in your communications, we’re revisiting this with a couple more examples to further explore the importance of organisations – commercial AND non-profit – being able to back up their green credentials! This time, we’ll start with the good! ‘Who Gives a…
When it comes to talking about sustainability in your communications – and serious issues like the climate emergency – it can be tricky to get the balance right. Too negative and this risks alienating your audience or even scaring them off. Too positive or ‘worthy’ and you’re in danger of opening yourself up to accusations…
As 2024 draws to a close, we’re reflecting on some of the great projects and initiatives we’ve worked on over the past 12 months. We kicked off the year with a major redesign and rebuild of the Andy Taylor Foundation website; transforming it from a 1-page information site to an all-singing, all-dancing online home, showcasing…
Here at A Better Planet, we love a bit of recycling… in fact, we’re a little obsessed! I mean, why wouldn’t you be?! Turning old stuff into new is great, isn’t it? But what’s really annoying is that councils rarely, if ever, offer a way of recycling all of that additional, flexible plastic packaging we…

As each of us scrabbles around trying to do our bit as individuals to tackle the climate emergency, ‘Fast Fashion’ is a term which has found its way into our vocabularies in recent years. So, what is it? And what’s the problem? We wanted to take a closer look in this, our latest blog. Defining…
Since 1 October 2020 businesses in England can no longer supply single-use straws, cotton buds and drink stirrers to end-users (the ones who actually use the product). The change is designed to address the devastating impact that single-use plastics are having on our environment. There’s no denying this is a step in the right direction. But…
An Empty Planet? The annual migration of vast herds of wildebeest across the Serengeti is one of nature’s greatest wonders and a sight to behold. Indeed, it has been the bread and butter of many wildlife documentaries over the years. However, the sad truth is that wildlife in these numbers could soon become a thing…
