Penguin Books has launched Green Ideas, a series of 20 paperbacks “putting important essays, thoughts and ideas on the climate crisis and what we can do to combat it into the literary canon”. The series, which becomes part of Penguin’s Classics range, features writers including American philosopher and conservationist Aldo Leopold, to pioneering sustainable farmer Masanobu Fukuoka and Greta Thunberg. The books were designed by Tom Etherington. More on how the series came into being here

Goodfest Digital is a “virtual festival for creatives exploring how to inspire sustainable change through purposeful ideas and actions”. The event usually runs in Cornwall but is online only this year, on September 16. As well as speakers including Natalie Fee (award-winning environmental campaigner, speaker and author) and Mark Shayler (designer and founding partner of the DOLectures), the organisers hope to mobilise participants in order to co-create a Sustainable Creative Manifesto. “This is one online event which will be interactive, pulling together our collective knowledge and skills to commit to a set of actions for the creative sector that can continue to drive change after the event,” they promise.

Mark Shayler is also working with Ethos Magazine to create a Greenwashing Glossary of misleading terms concerning sustainability, to be published in its next issue, available here

The Architects Climate Action Network has launched Households Declare, asking every household in the UK to declare a Climate Emergency. The idea of the site, say the organisers, is “to use our collective voice to send a strong message to the government, whilst providing resources to help us learn together.” The site is calling for the UK Government to create a national retrofit strategy to combat household emissions.
