Creativity is a tool for social change, through these projects information has been distributed to share concerns for animal welfare and the environment.
Animals are not Commodities
It is easy to feel detached from the suffering farm animals endure but the fact is, the quantity of meat and diary being consumed is rising, along with an increase in inhumane factory farms, with over 1.2 billion farm animals being killed yearly in the UK. Farm animals, like us, feel fear, pain, joy and their own forms of love, they are however, treated as units of production. There is plenty of journalism sharing footage of animals in factory farms, where their lives are not their own. Not only are there the farm animals to consider, but the land used for agriculture. Natural habitats are destroyed worldwide to provide farmland and grow animal fed, with the pollutants from the agricultural industry being put back into nature.
Farm animals have no choice in how they are treated but we do, when meat and dairy products are on the shop shelves, we can begin to consider where they come from and act for better animal welfare.
End animal testing
Animal testing continues happening in high numbers in the UK (2.68 million in 2024). So many everyday household products are tested on animals, from cleaning products to toothpaste, things many people would not even imagine. But this can change, non-animal testing is advancing. With increased public awareness and pressure on decision makers, animals could be free from a life of cruelty in captivity.
These pocket sized hand-outs promote the first steps we can take to help end testing on animals.
Protect our pollinators
Pollinating insects support countless plants and wildlife, and their health is intrinsic to our own. As their numbers are in drastic decline, we need to rethink how we view these insects and their habitats, so action can be taken to support them.
These postcards share some of the key species in the UK, why we need them and what we can do to protect them. Each comes with a pack of native flower seeds.
