🌍 THE PEOPLE’S EMERGENCY BRIEFING

Climate change isn’t just about the environment. It affects all of our lives — our food, health, homes, jobs, businesses, security, communities and economy.

In November 2025, leading scientists, economists and experts gathered in Westminster to present the evidence directly to MPs and decision-makers.

Now, that briefing is being brought to all of us.

🎬 The People’s Emergency Briefing is a compelling 50-minute documentary, presented by Chris Packham in an accessible, Gogglebox-style format.

It helps us understand what’s happening, how it affects our everyday lives, and gives us the knowledge and confidence to ask our Government for the action that’s needed.

👥 This screening is for EVERYONE.
Whatever your background, views or level of knowledge — come along, watch, listen and make up your own mind.

💚 WOW! What an exit that has been!!! 💚

The biggest of ‘thank yous’ to all you amazing customers who have gone above and beyond to make the end of this chapter on High Street the biggest send off ever! The love and support has been incredibly strong and deeply appreciated. It has encouraged and inspired me to keep going along the zero waste journey and I sincerely hope and trust our paths and friendships will cross again in the future 💚.

From a personal perspective I am a richer person for all the connections made and conversations had. It has been an emotional road on all levels, but one that has reached a junction with such joy in all that has been achieved.

Time for a break and reset before heading off on the next chapter to see what more can be done to spread the zero waste message!

Thank you all 💚🌎
