It’s 2019. Practically everyone is glued to a smart phone, enjoys an annual overseas holiday and tucks into a hot dinner each night. We’re living in a throwaway culture, with fast-fashion at our fingertips, and buying products we can toss to the bottom of a drawer after one use if they don’t quite fit our expectations. Most of us are familiar with enjoying a warm cuppa while watching our favourite TV shows, and have never had to worry about when we’ll get our next meal, shower, or whether we’ll be safe while we sleep. The same can’t be said for the 9,100 people sleeping rough every night in England (Crisis).

About Be Kind
Hello,
A warm welcome to our very first issue.
I wonder what led you to pick up our magazine from the stand? Perhaps the striking image caught your eye? Or, maybe the title, Be Kind, struck a chord? Either way, we hope you’re here because you, too, want to make the world a better place.
It’s a scary and uncertain time, as we watch our seas fill with plastic, our bins bulge and our air become dense with fumes and pollution. Each month, these pages will be packed with positive, proactive solutions to help you make small, achievable changes that will have a much bigger global impact.
This month we’re focusing in on the huge problem of plastic. As one of the biggest, most talked about environmental issues of the last year, plastic has affected every corner of the earth and all aspects of the environment. From ditching straws and water bottles, to who to follow on Instagram for zero-waste inspiration, we’ve rounded up some motivating ideas to help you reduce your own footprint. We all need to learn to tread a little more lightly, and it’s these small steps that will spark and inspire greater progress.
Showing a little kindness is what the world needs right now.
Enjoy the issue,
Phillipa
Editor
