Many animals rely on darkness to rest, feed, move safely and find their way. But artificial light can disturb these natural rhythms, including for migratory species like sea turtles, bats & birds. Watch this video to learn how small changes at home and in our communities can help protect wildlife.
Bracing myself for another big heap of “male loneliness” discourse because while the solution to Lonely Woman is “She needs to lose weight, smile more and volunteer at a pet shelter,” the solution to Lonely Man is invariably “We need sweeping, systemic societal change at women’s expense!”

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

The octopus on your plate can feel pain, delay gratification, and probably outthink a toddler. Just something to consider before you order.
