If you’re reading this, you probably recycle the plastic packaging used to contain everything from cookies to sandwiches. Maybe you even buy from brands advertising packaging made from recycled materials. Or maybe your favourite restaurant provides compostable takeout containers.

Treeapp: Plant Trees For Free With a Tap Of Your Screen
Pretty much every day, not long after I wake up, I stick on the kettle, make a cup of tea, and then, I plant a tree.
Between making the cup of tea and planting the tree each morning, it’s the tea that requires greater input from me.
Well goodness gracious me that must take quite a flaming effort musn’t it? Must it not!? I must be some sort of energetic man with an energetic plan and time and money and energy to burn if I’m out there in the chilly hilly wilderness planting trees every morning come what November?
Well actually, you ..read more

Listen To My Debut EP, ‘Aliens’, at the Links Below
Yes, this is the album cover!
I usually try to do a feature length article for A Wall Of Hope each month. Most months I manage to do one (they take a lot of time and work and effort you know all things considered!), but some months I am busy with other things and an article is not possible.
This month, I was busy releasing my debut EP, ‘Aliens’. So this short promotion article is all there is on A Wall Of Hope this month I’m afraid! (Yes I did just refer to my own EP as ‘unmissable’, but you can’t get anywhere in today’s world without a bit ..read more

As is normal here on A Wall Of Hope, this is not a sponsored kinda post! This is also not an ‘Adam gets free funky pants in exchange for writing this post’ kinda post!
I am not employed by Ashanti Empress, nor have I received any cash money or free gifts for writing this post. All Ashanti Empress items I showcase in this post, I have purchased myself, because I think they’re flaming amazing!
I decided to write this post (getting sick of the word ‘post’ yet?) because initially I was wowed by the beauty of the products Ashanti Empress makes, and then, when I looked into the brand itself, its o ..read more

Showing The Billionaires How It’s Done
What would you buy if you won over £100 million on the lottery?
A fancy car? A whole load of fancy cars? A whole load of fancy houses with fancy garages where you could store all your fancy cars and never use them because you were off sailing from impossibly over-priced pretentiously pretentious port to impossibly over-priced pretentiously pretentious port on one of your multiple super yachts drinking £50k bottles of champagne for breakfast every morning while pondering which super car and super house and superly superflous ‘super’ indulgence ..read more

Smashing Stigmas, Making History, No Excuses
Chris Nikic says on his website that although he could use his obstacles as an excuse to limit him, he doesn’t do excuses, and his coaches won’t take them. Instead, he works hard.
It is this hard work, and his inspirational will to become a little bit better every day that has led Nikic, only 21 years old, to recently become the first person with Down syndrome to complete the Ironman Triathlon, one of the most demanding endurance events in human history.
By completing the Ironman event, Chris Nikic is helping to break through the stigmas and assum ..read more

How much do we know about our world?
We know the sky is blue don’t we? And the grass is green? Except sometimes the sky is very grey indeed and the grass isn’t even there!
Maybe we don’t know so much about our world after all? Maybe we’re just silly little nonsensical humans who think we know everything but really we’re just swimming about the place without a map or a compass or half a clueless clue what direction to take to get to the next coral reef? Maybe.
A Skyscraper in the Middle of the Ocean!
Speaking of the next coral reef: Turns out just the other day scientists in Australia happene ..read more

To begin, it’s important to say, that just like all the articles I write for A Wall Of Hope, I am not being paid to write this article by Forest Green Rovers F.C or anyone else, nor am I a die-hard fan of the club or anything like that.
I am writing the article because I’m genuinely impressed by what this organisation is doing (I mean if you read the article you’ll know what I mean), and I believe they deserve a place on the wall.
Because come on, making football environmentally friendly? If that isn’t a cause for hope, then what the heck is?
Football, Sustainable, Really?
