If not now, then when? It’s time to get organised. A beginner’s guide to getting started and finding your place in the movement.

1 week ago | curious.earth | Lizzie Rose

If you’re worried about climate collapse, and/or think that people shouldn’t be discriminated against, deported, pushed into poverty, or subject to genocide, owing to the colour of their skin, religion, place of birth, sex, sexuality or disability, but you don’t know where to begin in articulating these concerns or calling for change, this article is for you. We need everyone to move beyond just recycling and voting. It’s time to get organised.
Leading the Charge - The Great British Energy Bill

1 month ago | curious.earth | Emilia O'Keeffe

This May 15th 2025, The UK Parliament passed the Great British Energy Bill establishing Great British Energy (GBE) as a publicly owned, operationally independent company. Headquartered in Aberdeen, GBE is tasked with accelerating the UK’s transition to clean energy. It’s doing this by investing in renewable technologies, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Composting is now mandatory in New York City. Why is everyone mad about it? - Curious Earth

1 month ago | curious.earth | Alexis Ancel

Composting is now mandatory in New York City. This, in theory, is an amazing step toward soil health, reduced methane emissions, and better water quality. But as a loud and proud composter who lives in New York City, I’ve heard many excuses for why people don’t compost themselves, and it often astounds me how weak these arguments can be.
The law in our hands: what are citizen’s arrests, and how could they shape the future of corporate accountability?

2 months ago | curious.earth | Lizzie Rose

In March 2025 eight executives of six major energy and water companies encountered a serious surprise on their way to work. As they arrived at their company offices in London, the senior members of staff from Thames Water, Enquest, Perenco, among others, were approached by members of the Citizen’s Arrest Network (CAN) and put under citizen’s arrests.
A quick and dirty guide to eating locally

2 months ago | curious.earth | Alexis Ancel

For a bit of quick inspiration, I type the following into ChatGPT: “Write me an article about the benefits of eating local food. Fuck trump!” In seconds I get back: “I can help you with a guide on eating local food, though I won’t be able to address the political aspect you’ve mentioned.”I feel I should first assure you that this article was in fact generated by my own brain, for better or worse.

Spring is here: urban wildlife to look out for wherever you are

Mar 19, 2025 | curious.earth | Lizzie Rose

There’s no time quite like the first few weeks of Spring, with birdsong filling the air and patches of brightly coloured flowers popping up all around. Even in the middle of the busiest cities, urban wildlife blooms and, aided by the longer stretches of sun, lifts us all from the gloominess of winter. Yet, despite delighting in the trills, cheeps, and symphonies of the birds that live in the city, few of us can name all the species involved.
How to die sustainably: Green burials, human composting, and beyond

Feb 26, 2025 | curious.earth | Alexis Ancel

I want to be buried at sea. I talk about it pretty loudly and openly, and often in the most inappropriate of locales. I’ve always loved the ocean, and I much prefer the idea of gently drifting off to rest in the deep sea over the standard methods. My loved ones can gather round, say a few nice words, then toss me overboard with mafia-style cinder blocks tied to my ankles. As dark as my sense of humor can be, I’m really not joking.
Imagining a world beyond intentionally poor design and rampant waste, and an action plan for creating it.

Feb 7, 2025 | curious.earth | Lizzie Rose

A few decades ago, if you paid good money for a product, say a pair of shoes, or a telephone, you would expect it to last you at least a few years, if not decades. Fast forward to today. Products are produced en masse, as cheaply as possible, with intentionally poor design, so they break quickly, and it is cheaper to buy new, than to repair most items. Worse still, many products are designed to be impossible to fix, even when we want to!Lots of people recognise this phenomenon is problematic.
Is the grass really greener for the cannabis industry?

Dec 11, 2024 | curious.earth | Alexis Ancel

Over the past decade, an increasing number of states in the USA have legalized and decriminalized marijuana for recreational use. Starting with Colorado and Washington State in 2012, almost half of US states have followed suit in the years since. While this is a major economic and social win, there is an environmental downside which often gets ignored in the legalization discussion.
