An Introduction into 'Net Zero'

Creating a net zero UK will require a fundamental transformation in our economy and society.  Businesses will play a vital role in this, and companies are increasingly keen to signal their commitments to corporate social responsibility.

Taking action is indeed important, as government statistics tell us that business and industry are directly responsible for around 17% of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK, and clearly these need to be dramatically reduced.

Building a net zero future is crucial for our planet. So what is net zero, and why is it important?

As we burn fuels to do things like power our homes, produce goods and operate transport,

Fun water sports to try this Summer

Summer is a beautiful season — it’s full of long days, warm nights, and fragrant air. Though, of course, it does bring with it a lot more heat and sweaty days. That’s why joining in on water sports or activities is the perfect way to cool off, freshen up, and have a whole lot of fun in the meantime. Whether you’re in for an adrenaline kick with kitesurfing or flyboarding, or you prefer something more chill such as yachting or snorkelling, there’s sure to be the perfect activity for everyone.

From chilly dips in hidden lagoons to epic lakes and rivers and the sea, outdoor swimming is increasingly popular in the UK, but how do you get started? Before heading for a wild swim it is important to do some research into water safety.

Here is our essential wild outdoor swimming guide, including guidance on water safety and how to get used to swimming in cold water.

Some how I seem to do this every year!

Autumn is here and Winter will not be far around the corner so it is time to get out my winter boots. Towards the end of last Winter or the beginning of Spring I noticed that my boots were suffering from a little wear and tear (both my wellington boots and more heavy duty walking boots). But as the weather started warming up a bit I didn’t really give much thought to getting them repaired as you wouldn’t be needing them for a while. So I just put them in the cupboard and thought I’ll get round to them when I need them again. But, of course life happens and I never did!

The colder weather has crept up on us and I need my snug waterproof boots again, now because sometimes the British weather can be apocalyptic at times for no apparent reason or without warning. I take a good look at my boots and prey they are not as bad as I think but realise that
