Newsletters recommendations?

Looking for ethicalish newsletter recommendations, to add to the resources page and provide inspiration for our own upcoming newsletter (watch this spaaaace :alien:)

Most of my fav newsletters are a bit techy - Dense Discovery, Exponential View, Futuregov’s one.

I also love Helen Lewis’s The Bluestocking - “Long reads, current affairs and curios for people who like 18th century nerdery, offbeat tales of real life, and weird stories about cows.” - although it’s not really relevant for this!

Help??? :sweat::sweat::sweat:

I really like the daily briefings I get from The New York Times. I read them almost every day. I partially blame my commitment on the way they designed and structured the briefing.

And Treehugger manages to keep its newsletters packed with info but in such a way that it doesn’t feel overwhelming. They add quotes and jokes in the right places too :slight_smile:

I get the daily one but I don’t manage to read it every day. But I keep saving them and occasionally enjoy browsing through them :slight_smile: Not sure if their daily, weekly and monthly newsletters are structured similarly hmm. Anyway, whatever you get I hope you’ll find it useful. :raised_hands:

Some I still belong to are https://www.greenpeace.org.uk, who can give some great information sometimes
https://landworkersalliance.org.uk, for people who work on the land, https://www.footprintnetwork.org/resources/footprint-calculator/ calculates your carbon footprint for the year, their newsletter can give useful information, https://www.sustrans.org.uk/sign-up-to-our-newsletter/ this is the charity for walking and cycling, so ethical types of transport
https://www.cat.org.uk the centre for alternative technology

Although not a newsletter as such two websites I often check in with for interesting or useful information are:


https://www.builditsolar.com
The last one covers just about everything you can think off to try renewable energy wise, with some great tips and guides.
Hope these may be of help.

We’ve just started a new newsletter about sustainability, that we would love you to take a look at…

It’s called ‘Towards Sustainability’ and it’s kind of old school, published once a month, available to read online, download as pdf or subscribe by email.

Issue #1 is up now and it’s not overly big, but we already have more contributors lined up for next months and we aim to get bigger and more interesting all the time. On the subject of contributors, we are looking for more if anyone is interested…

You can find it at https://platformaeko.com/towards-sustainability/ and we would love opinions and thoughts (as well as to be added to the resource page) :smiley:

Issue #2 of Towards Sustainability is out now, and we’d still love to hear opinions, etc.
