Neil Kitching is a geographer and energy specialist. His book, Carbon Choices, seeks to increase our understanding of climate change and nature loss, and offer some solutions.
The refugees fleeing Ukraine are deserving of all the support and aid we can muster on their behalf. All refugees.
It’s clear that supporting children to care for the natural world from a young age is vital if we are to build an eco-friendly future. And a huge part of children’s environmental learning, or “socialisation”, occurs through observation and role modelling.
Catch up with Glimmer founder and CEO, Nancy Lutchman. Who is the woman behind this Australian initiative aiming to bring positivity to the social media space?

There’s a reason Finland, the world’s most equitable country, sits at the top of the list of happiest countries. Populations in countries with better equality are happier and healthier.
Australia’s remarkable animals, plants and ecosystems are world-renowned, and rightly so. Unfortunately, our famous ecosystems are not OK. How much do you think the federal government spends on helping our threatened species recover?

As climate change intensifies, we are now seeing cascading and compounding impacts and risks, including where extreme events coincide.

COVID-19 has shown that pandemics can seriously affect people’s physical and mental health. Stress, anxiety and depression have increased around the world, with the greatest effects for those living under the strictest lockdowns. Many people’s physical activity levels also fell during lockdown. Gardens, though, can help us push back against these negative effects.
One of the largest sites of food waste is the home. In Australia, households throw out about 2.5 million tonnes of food each year. That equates to between A$2,000 and $2,500 worth of food per year per household. But there’s some good news.
