What’s the benefit of Net Zero? “I can’t see how Net Zero is possible or beneficial to us.” I have been thinking a LOT about how to respond to this statement a friend made to me a couple of months ago. (And this question has freshly hit the headlines again in the UK with Kemi Badenoch’s recent speech.) I made several (failed) starts to gather my thoughts into something coherent, until I realised that...

(First published on The Contented Calf Website on Monday 23rd August 2010.) They say it takes around nine months after giving birth for your body to return to how it was before – nine months to grow the baby, and nine months to return to how you were before you were pregnant.

Friday 20th September, around the world, people took part in the Global Climate Strikes. Were you there? Did you strike? Did your kids? Did your kids’ schools do anything?Weren’t the scenes of the strikes around the world so inspiring and energising? In particular the picture of the strike @gretathunberg posted happening in Afghanistan. This is, as she says, a globally emergency. And it seemed on Friday that we came together around the world to acknowledge this and lobby politicians and big businesses to do more.Sadly, I wasn’t there. My 7YO was off school ill with a cold.

Ethical and Sustainable Living as ethically and sustainably as possible has always been one of my core values. So when I started The Contented Company (and Contented Earth especially), I wanted those values to be at the core of the business too. Whilst no-one can ever be perfect, making the best possible choice available at every decision is something I don’t take lightly – from choosing which products we stock, to how we handle your order, to how we get it to you, to how we try to have a positive impact on the world as a business. I’d love...
