We firmly believe that collective action is the key to driving positive change, we can all play a part in protecting what we love.

As a Certified B Corp, we use our business as a force for good, putting people and the planet first. So we thought we'd take some time out to showcase some B Corps that we love and why.

On Saturday 20th May, Ocean Activists across the UK joined forces with Surfers Against Sewage to demand water companies 

stop making a profit from pollution, saying no to sewage in our blue spaces - effectively, we've had enough of your shit.

One of the reasons we founded our store in Gili Trawangan was to be able to make a difference in the fight against climate change in a place that is heavily affected by it

Between our almost 50 people strong trash team we collected over 100kg of trash and recyclables. In an hour, 100kg 😮

Individuals can also play a crucial role in reducing their carbon footprint. They can start by reducing the number of unnecessary journeys, start carpooling, and use public transport where possible.

Going paddling for the weekend with your pals? Could you all travel together? 

After recently announcing that we have joined forces with Surfers Against Sewage  as part of their Million Mile Clean project, this month we partook in our first community clean. We decided to reach out to the Dartmoor community and outdoor lovers to clean up our home, 3830. 

Renewable energy comes at a price, however if we want to see energy change on a scale that is going to effect climate change, that is a price we have to be willing to pay.

The "big four" UK banks - Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) - have all provided significant funding to the fossil fuel industry in recent years.

We kicked off B Corp Month in style by shutting our stores and heading out to help protect the wild places we love. We joined forces for this clean up with businesses & individuals all over the UK, as part of the Surfers Against Sewage Million Mile Clean.

The Dartmoor Preservation Society has launched a fund raising campaign to directly support the DNPA in appealing the court and targeting a rights based system for wild campers to enjoy Dartmoor. 

Find out how to support it.

"Well, in short, at least there's a solution that grants wild camping, but a permissive system is far from the ideal outcome. Action is needed and the fight for the right to wild camp as we have always done continues."

It's no secret that there are so many great Dartmoor adventures that can be experienced, from walking routes, running routes and even just leisurely strolls. Well now you can pick up one our litter pickers! 

Trash washes in from the ocean, but it also comes from being thrown away, with many people here still burning and discarding their waste. It's an uphill struggle that the Gili Eco Trust have been tackling for years, the progress is evident but theres still plenty to be done.

Trail running is one of the best ways to explore our National Parks, especially Dartmoor. With endless miles of footpaths, bridleways and trails both marked and unmarked, moving swiftly with your feet you can get to some of the countries finest wild places and the best snack spots available! 

Dartmoor is a hive of activity for those who embrace the outdoor lifestyle. From the flowing rivers to the endless trails, it is a place where you can venture far on a sunny day and embrace the elements of the wilderness on another. The landscape that surrounds us acts as a constant reminder of what we live to enjoy, and serve to protect.

Dartmoor is the ONLY place in England where you can legally wild camp, sadly that right is under threat.

Over 250kg of trash was pulled out of the river and surrounding area. A massive win for the river and the life it supports. 

We couldn't think of a better place to call home, or a better place to spend Black Friday.

It's that time of the year again, Black Friday is fast approaching with its sales, discounts, mass consumerism, throwaway culture...you know, all the good stuff. We'll be real with you, Black Friday just isn't that great, it's far from it.

So we figure, why indulge in it? 

GREENER PASTURES Black Friday is only 99% doom and gloom. There's a 1% out there, a band of brands and businesses taking a stand against it, or at least attempting to turn it in to something more positive. And then there...

WE'RE SAYING NO TO BLACK FRIDAY The It's that time of the year again, Black Friday is fast approaching and the world goes crazy for the 'best deals of the year'. There's huge sales all over the place, mad price...
