The fantastic Imogen Heap (of whom I am a massive fan) has just announced her new film project Love The Earth. Details below!

I am excited for this. You can also read Imogen's letter to find out more. Submit a video to the project about why you love the Earth by September 26th to be included in the premiere at the Royal Albert Hall. I know what I'll be doing.

GOOD.is reports on the Pollinator Pathway project, which is "transforming a mile-long band of grass in Seattle into gardens where various pollinating creatures can do their critical work".

The Pathway will run between Seattle University and a small wood. (Two garden patches have been finished already, with 16 more planned.) The idea is to connect two existing wildlife-friendly spaces with an uninterrupted run of enticing—and native—plantings. "Ecologically speaking, islands are isolating," says Bergmann. "Connectivity is key to biodiversity."

Unfortunately, although well-meaning urban planning means that we may focus on green space on our cities, what this doesn't ask is whether "green is the right hue" for pollinators, including birds, and bees, to do their important work. To address this, these gardens focus on favouring "certain colors and shapes, such as blue, which bees prefer, flat flowers, which butterflies like, and tubular flowers for hummingbirds" - so that plants may get on with the er, birds and the bees.

Oops, so yesterday, I spent most of the day in London, and as a result did not get to post. However, whilst there, we did get Jenni Falconer to lend her support to Arohon, so do go check that out.

Today, my younger sister mentioned this awesome campaign by one of her fellow UK youth delegates for the G8/G20 summit, James Munnery. James points out that Free Newspapers Cost The Earth; 1.7 million free newspapers are distributed in London every day, and he urges the public and publishers alike to be aware of the environmental impact of this. Do check out his campaign, where he outlines a plan of action, and things that the public can do to help, such as remembering to recycle old newspapers rather than leaving them on the tube. You can even join the Facebook group here.

I should point out that this is one of 20 campaigns on Battlefront, a Channel 4 initiative for young people to engage with social and environmental issues alike. You can check out the other very worthy campaigns here: http://battlefront.co.uk/campaigns/

I also especially love the campaigners handbook on Battlefield, which is useful for anyone interested in "single-handedly saving the world", as they say. There is a lot of brilliant information her to guide you "through the marshes and minefields of the revolutionary landscape", from initial stages, to execution. I'm still reading, myself!
