Sandy McDonaldThe Eighth Continent is burning!
Min says . . . every living tree is one small, green refusal to let the Eighth Continent burn.

Support bees
Min says . . . there are many things you can do to support bees—these industrious and life-saving insects to their siren-luring flowers.

Hard rubbish day. Sad Planet day.
Min says . . . what can you avoid putting out for hard rubbish day by recycling, resusing or up-cycling? Think about everything you buy.

A battle for the bar of soap
The humble bar of soap versus soap in a bottle? No argument when you realise how much landfill soap bottles contribute too. Min says... make your own soap!

Plastic waste—the bad and the good news
So much of our marine life is suffering from plastic waste. Take hope from the good news stories and spread the word.

Make your own microbes
Did you know if you examined one teaspoon of soil under a microscope, you would find about 1 billion microbes and 10,000 species?

Grow a forest in your backyard
Shubhendhu Sharmi proves you can grow a forest in your backyard or school in ten years. Imagine if we all did that!

Lumin tears and human technology
We need to grow trees, not just plant them. Planted in their millions, they often die. Land Life trees technology changes that.

Powerful owls and megowls
Powerful owls are majestic birds. Their habitats are threatened, so they are moving into the suburbs. We must ensure they don't eat rat bait.

Add to the one trillion trees total
Take hope from the wonderful global initiative to plant one trillion trees.

Determination results in action, in this case the saving of a secret forest
