The Boy In and Out of the Bubble: How Connecting to Oneself is Part of Connecting to the World – NSSM2020

May 29, 2020/0 Comments/by FCBG blog

Guest Post by M.Evan Wolkenstein When I was sixteen, I joined my school’s environmental club. We were trying to save a “green space” (really a vacant lot) downtown.

Planet Power – NSSM2020

May 27, 2020/0 Comments/by FCBG blog

Guest Post by Robin Jacobs I have always been enthralled by the power of nature. When I was little, my favourite thing was to go outside during a storm. Ideally barefoot.  My mum was mostly tolerant unless it was particularly cold or muddy outside. I recently discovered my 6-year-old nephew has the same predilection. He […]

Telling Stories about the Planet We Share – NSSM2020

May 25, 2020/0 Comments/by FCBG blog

The story of plastic – NSSM2020

May 23, 2020/0 Comments/by FCBG blog

Guest Post by Katie Daynes Have you had a plastic ‘penny drop’ moment? A moment when you realised how totally bonkers it is to take something that will last for hundreds of years, use it only once, then throw it away? Perhaps you’ve had a plastic OUTRAGE moment when you’ve seen an image of an […]

Jungledrop – NSSM2020

May 16, 2020/0 Comments/by FCBG blog

Guest Post by Abi Elphinstone With my latest book, Jungledrop, I wanted to write a story that revelled in the beauty of the natural world but also highlighted its fragility. A few years ago, I visited the world’s largest tropical wetland: the Pantanal, an enormous patchwork of lagoons, marshes and lakes sprawling Brazil, Bolivia and […]

There’s a Rang-tan in My Bedroom – NSSM2020

May 14, 2020/0 Comments/by FCBG blog

Guest Feature by James Sellick When first presenting There’s a Rang-tan in My Bedroom to Greenpeace, we pitched it alongside a wide array of ideas, each aiming to bring the horrible truth about palm oil to the surface in its own unique way. Most ideas were, as you’d expect, shocking and controversial. ‘May include charred […]

Nature and Grief – NSSM2020

May 11, 2020/0 Comments/by FCBG blog

Guest Post by Richard Lambert I am writing this during lockdown. I am lucky – I am not in a small flat in the middle of a city and I have a small patch of garden. It’s a garden I have neglected and, now normal life has been put on hold, it’s a place I […]
