Over the last year, our founder Matt Golding has been working with WONDEROOM founder Mairead Cahill on ‘Sea, Land & City’, a film about Nature Based Solutions - helping bring to life the positive routes forward for nature that are already underway, and could help turn the tide on our nature depleted country. We’re delighted to say that after premiering at Blue Earth Summit, the film launches on WaterBear Network today! You can watch it here: https://lnkd.in/ehW26yA9 Thanks to the amazing people and projects who made this happen: DOP Matt Riley, Producer/Editor Alex Shand, Editor Paul Frankl, Colourist Kristen Muñoz, Designer @Ben King, @Emma Schofield, Rickey Welch, Rollo Mason from Waterbear, Composer Blinky Bill, and Matt’s dad for trusting us with his drone.

It's #WorldEnvironmentDay and we're calling for our local parliamentary candidates to back the 🌱🌳 Climate and Nature Bill 🌳🌱 ahead of the General Election. In an open letter coordinated by Triodos Bank 70+ businesses representing over 2,500 employees & £500million of revenue, including Boston Tea Party Cafes Sawday's SILVERBACK FILMS Finisterre, Neighborly® and Natracare – have signed a letter making the case for the Bill. People and the economy will benefit, so it makes huge sense to get behind #TheClimateandNatureBill 💪🙌🌍 Find out more at: https://www.zerohour.uk/ #WorldEnvironmentDay #GeneralElection #CANbill

Most people in the UK (86% according to a recent study) want the UK to take urgent action on climate - and recognise our government are undemocratically dragging their heals. So every year The Climate Coalition catalyse a week of action where people can come together to make a difference and feel better for it. Check it out. There are bound to already be things happening near you 👇

Reading the news and seeing climate graphs ramping up is enough to feel anyone with gloom, but the stories that aren't getting told are of the growing concern and action from ordinary people. So this V-Day, we super excited to have partnered with The Climate Coalition as part of #ShowTheLove to celebrate brilliant communities across the UK taking action to protect what they love. In light of the news that global heating exceeded 1.5C across an entire year for the first time, it’s vital to spotlight the amazing climate leadership of people like us, and show politicians there's a urgent mandate and spreadable ideas for change being made real across the UK.
