"The attitude behaviour gap in sustainable consumption comes because consumers are overwhelmed. Advertising has a huge role to play in education and closing the gap. We need to walk a mile in the shoes of our customers and talk to them on their terms." - Harriet Kingaby @consciousadnet speaking at @ASA_UK

"Don't let the tail wag the dog. This is about transitioning your business, not shouting to consumers how green you are with clever marketing slogans that you then try to retrofit. Get the evidence, then work from there" - Cecilia Parker Aranha, @CMAgovUK speaking at @ASA_UK

Check out this workshop from @ClimateOutreach: youtube.com/watch?v=qr-voJ0h… Climate Outreach have done extensive research and testing on the topic. George Marshal talks about the distrust many people (especially those that are harder to reach) have towards environmentalists at 40:39.

This is absolutely key - especially at the moment. YouGov polling shows climate change, somewhat understandably, slipping down people's priority list after health and cost of living. But those issues are directly linked. Climate advocates often worry that if they widen their messaging they will lose people, but done correctly it has the opposite effect!
As research shows, the word 'planet' - which is featured prominently in the protest messaging - tends to turn off non-environmentalists. To extend the reach of the campaign beyond the eco echo-chamber, that messaging needs to shift too - towards more widely relatable outcomes.

This take won't be popular with my audience...but here goes! I wrote a whole book on hundreds of ways to take #ClimateAction - both individually and politically. I didn't include protesting. Here's why 🧵👇

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS. Please can you help by following us and retweeting this message?

If there's a climate myth circulating, you can bet @KHayhoe has already debunked it. She tackled the "It's cold, so the planet isn't warming" myth four years ago. But still timely -- and unfortunately necessary today. #GlobalWeirding youtu.be/nnMJedLHjpY

The thing that interests me most about the Harry and Megan documentary is THE GOVERNMENT JUST APPROVED A NEW COAL MINE OFF THE BACK OF THE HOTTEST SUMMER EVER AND WHILE TELLING THE REST OF THE WORLD TO PHASE DOWN THE USE OF COAL AND IT CAN'T EVEN SEE WHY THAT'S A PROBLEM.

Amazing stat today from @EC_magazine #Carbon #Emissions Gap report: last year, 25% #clothes bought in the UK were second hand; this year it's rocketed to 37.5%! May be #economic motivations behind it, but might also help make new habits that remain! #ethicalhour #fashion

You know it's bad when even PR firms pull out of greenwashing schemes 🤯 Also, in case you were wondering if keeping the pressure on the fossil fuels industry makes a difference 👇 It most certainly does! #StopEACOP #BanFossilAds

It is time that we humans rethink our relationship with nature. The wellbeing of humans is interconnected with the well-being of other living things and entire ecosystems. Less meat, more forests, more life 🌳❤️ #LessMeatMoreLife #COVID19 #StopFactoryFarms

So many Americans right now are stepping up to help their communities. Zohaib Begg, a 7-year-old from VA, is one of them. This inspiring kid has been gathering supplies from hotels to donate to the medical professionals at his local hospital. patch.com/virginia/ashburn/s…

Don't compare your work output this week with other weeks. These are not normal times so don't expect your normal output. Things will take longer. There are most disruptions and distractions. It's hard to focus. So give yourself a break. Be kind to yourself.
