    I don't like the idea of charging for my newsletters or podcasts. But they take ages to produce. So I have decided to try a weird experiment of keeping it all free but making payment voluntary to anyone who'd like to help contribute to my work. Thank you.

    100 Blocks a Day. Most people sleep about seven or eight hours a night. That leaves 16 or 17 hours awake each day. Or about 1,000 minutes. Let’s think about those 1,000 minutes as 100 10-minute blocks. That’s what you wake up with every day...

    A useful thread for anyone interested in the financial side of getting their book published. 👇

    When will people stop basing their ideas on what trade publishing is on a rom com they saw one time in 1997?

    The Dictionary defines adventure as an ‘unusual, exciting or daring experience’, and being ‘willing to take risks or to try out new methods, ideas, or experiences’. Would you like to live more adventurously? Sign up for my new free email newsletter...

    I really enjoyed .steve speaking tonight. So much passion, knowledge, adventure and a desire to save the oceans from human behaviour. Go and see him on tour if you can. And if not, at least buy his new book! Well done, sir.

    Downland describes a landscape of open chalk hills - in its natural state, home to many species of wildflowers and insects, from orchids to the Adonis blue butterfly. Downland is already covered by the CRoW Act, but there's a problem. Because so much of …

    Two years on a bike. This video brings back many memories, and really gets me wondering what things would have been like had I filmed my own ride round the world. I think, overall, I'm glad that I didn't film it - that I just rode it. But this is great!

    It's today, a chance to remember our planet's precious, beautiful isolation. There are literally hundreds of environmental crisis points, but I'll highlight a few that I personally keep fixating on. - We need to rewild the world. Let trees grow…

    Also industrial fishing. Large fish like cod/tuna have dropped by 90%. 100000 albatross die each year caught in fishing lines. For every kg of prawns we eat, between 5kg & 20 kg of fish are killed & wasted! And it takes 26kg of wild fish feed to produce 1 kg of farm-raised tuna!

    Getting more people outdoors, more often, is good for mental and physical health, plus it shows that you don't need to jet off on polluting planes to find adventure. Put nearby nature in everyday lives.

    - People only care about what they love. Therefore we need to encourage people to experience nature by opening up the countryside and making it more accessible to everyone.

    (Although I should point out that there's a real role for cattle in silvopasture, rewilding, chalk grasslands, and style farming)

    - In order to rewild, we need space and so we need to farm (and eat) much better. We use an area as large as North America and South America combined for beef and dairy cows, and crops to feed those cows. Madness. Ditch the cheeseburger and rewild the world.

    - We need to rewild the world. Let trees grow and rivers wiggle. Leave nature alone and she'll sort this one ("Do Nothing for Nature!").
