Mainstream media and social media provide a current mostly-reactionary lens through which to learn about our society’s state and the economic and political issues of the day.

Information about our impact on the planet (short of reporting on natural disasters which are more urgent) is largely presented through slower and more observational reporting processes. A good portion of what we see filter into mainstream media about the environment is reporting on scientific studies that were conducted or data observed over a more extended period. However, the media tends to selectively present, dramatise, or sensationalise findings to get clicks or ratings.

We also get presented with industry-based news. This can be aimed at those in the industry know, or it might be information that the industry has provided consumers about a product, brand, collection, or trend.
All this information is provided across various platforms and channels, each with its agenda or desired reading outcome, which means that daily news perusing can be pretty overwhelming!

This take-action option offers a kind-news challenge that you can choose to use (or not use)!

Let us know how you go!
