It can be easy to feel hopeless in the face of climate change. But don’t be glum chum. There’s hope in every corner, you just need to know where to look.
Here’s our round up just some of the climate-related good news stories from 2021, and the Do Actions that celebrate them.

Collaboration is the key. I’m not the first to say that, by a long way. People have been singing the praises of strategic partnerships and cross sector collaboration for years, especially in the sustainable business world.
When we’re all working towards the same bloomin’ huge goal, it makes total sense to unite our efforts. For us at Do Nation, as a tiny two-man band on a mission to help make sustainability mainstream, collaboration is absolutely critical.
That’s why we’re so excited to announce a new partnership between Do Nation, Pukka Herbs and the Soil Association. Continue reading
Is your bill supply powering the clean energy revolution? Or is it lining the sooty pockets of the Big Six?

Today sees the launch of four new Do Actions with an interesting twist, developed in partnership with our client Hill + Knowlton.
At first glance, they may look like a sideways leap into an unconnected world of personal development. But here are three reasons why I am excited about how these pledges can contribute to our mission of making sustainable living mainstream: Continue reading
A speed blog from me today.
We have five new priority Do Actions for August. Here’s what they are and why we chose them.
Wayne Talbot is Corporate Relations Manager for the EAUC. In a guest blog, here he shares his story about the pledges he made at the EAUC Conference in May and the impact they’ve had on his habits and attitude.
