MINDFUL
READINGMEDIA ABUNDANCE
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!

THE KIND NEWS CHALLENGE
Kind-news shouldn’t replace ALL the news in your life. ESPECIALLY given the changeable times that we are currently living in. However, a week off from consuming news (you still need to check your government regulations for COVID-19 in your area, weather updates and any other ESSENTIAL news for your geographical location) will let you choose a more mindful approach for the future.
DOWNLOAD THE CHALLENGE
If you love the idea of a week of Kind News you can download a PDF copy of our prompts.


NOTE FROM KATIE
Sure, this doesn’t keep me up-to-date with everything that is happening globally, but I’m also not overwhelmed by content.

OUR FREE MAGAZINE
It’s the comprehensive monthly highlight of the suite of tools we have designed to help simplify sustainability so you can take action on the things you care about (minus the eco-overwhelm). The content ties together our ‘Take Action’ focus theme. In a fast-paced media-saturated landscape, we hope that this way of sharing will provide you access to all our useful tools, without feeling lost or overwhelmed. Each month the latest copy of the magazine and our most recent resources are sent to your inbox (you will only receive one email a month from us). You will get reminders via our social media channels of what content we’re championing throughout the month.
We hope that you enjoy getting your Sustainable Style fix in this easy-to-read format and that it gives you a break from the abundance of social media updates and overflowing inboxes we now navigate daily
