At this pretty site, you can find a library of helpful posts, to help restore our green and pleasant land.
Let’s take back our communities for nature – and all the creatures. Put the kettle on, and stay awhile!
If you’re passionate about nature and the planet, animal welfare, seaside piers, community shops, independent pubs, litter-free streets, fair politics and independent media – put the kettle on, and stay awhile!
Change begins with making tiny swaps and better choices. Whether you grow your own organic food (or live in a food desert with access only to a supermarket), you’ll find (affordable) inspirational finds at this site. Which we can all support, to collectively make a difference.
Keywords for this site are nature, kindness, planet – and community. That’s where everything happens. Grassroots level – bottom up change. Think of independent shops, wildlife rescuers, dog-walking volunteers, local councillors, credit unions, community orchards and free fair media.
Forget celebrities and obsession with the monarchy. Let’s reserve our wonder for hearing the buzz of a bumble bee pollinating a flower, watching a murmuration of starlings overhead, or sight of a previously-endangered osprey bird catching fish on the lake. Let’s transform from passive ‘residents’ owned by media and government, into active stewards of our environment.
Ecological restoration isn’t government schemes or celebrity fundraisers. It’s grassroots change. Stop buying junk food, avoid vapid TV, and ignore dishonest politicians. Change happens peacefully, bringing everyone along.
It’s time to step up, get involved – and shape the future we all want. Walks in leafy parks or on clean beaches, enjoying fresh air and birdsong, saving our plants and native wildlife – and living what ecological writer Satish Kumar calls a life of Soil, Soul and Society.
Sometimes I come across a tree which seems like Buddha or Jesus: loving, compassionate, still, unambitious, enlightened, in eternal meditation.
Giving pleasure to a pilgrim, shade to a cow, berries to a bird, beauty to its surroundings, health to its neighbours, leaves for the soil.
Asking nothing in return, in total harmony with the wind and the rain. How much can I learn from a tree? The tree is my church, the tree is my template, the tree is my mantra, the tree is my poem and my prayer. Satish Kumar
