There are many organisations and individuals actively doing things that align with the goals and ambitions of The ROB Trust. We feature some of them here. We encourage you to explore and learn from what they do. Please contact us if you would like to see others listed here as well.
The Earthbound Report
The Earthbound Report is a website set up by Jeremy Williams. He is a freelance writer and campaigner who grew up in Madagascar and Kenya, and is now based in the UK. He has worked with agencies including Oxfam, Tearfund, WWF and RSPB, as well as various business clients. His activities include writing and editing books on climate change and related issues, public speaking, magazine articles, short films and book reviews.
You can find more details about his books and other activities on his website. There you can also subscribe to his regular blogs.
First Move Productions
First Move Productions, founded by Anny Tubbs, is a Brussels-based production company that champions ethical, sustainable and positive change. Anny does this by filming and sharing original stories about people who are making a positive difference on various fronts. These include climate activism and community-based wildlife conservation initiatives.
Anny’s films (which you can view on her website) include:
- Make It Happen (2020): Professor Sir Paul Collier, photographer Mandy Barker and youth climate activist Temilola Fayokun share perspectives on plastic pollution, youth empowerment and the role of business, highlighting why no issue can be resolved in isolation;
- Trapped by Plastic (2021): Award-winning photographer Mandy Barker highlights the devastating impact of marine plastic pollution worldwide; and
- Who Speaks For The Butterflies? (2022): Peter Owen-Jones – an environmental activist, author and parish priest – explores UK-based community initiatives linked to woodland management that are bringing genuine conservation benefits.
Tiny Eco Home Life
Tiny Eco Home Life is a monthly Blog (which you can subscribe to using the links below). It is published by North of England-based Ben Hardman. He provides useful information, tips and ideas on how to live a more simple, sustainable, eco-friendly life. Ben is passionate about the natural world and a source of inspiration on how you can have a more positive impact on the environment.
By way of examples, he provides information on topics as diverse as:
- 25 easy ways to go green at home – which you may find helpful in making more conscious, ethical, sustainable choices about how you live, the food you eat and how you go about your everyday life; and
- the merits of tree planting v natural woodland regeneration, considering whether or not schemes to plant more trees are beneficial compared with efforts to encourage natural regeneration of woodlands and forests. These are issues which are relevant to The ROB Trust when evaluating which rewilding projects to support.
Moral Fibres
Moral Fibres is operated by Edinburgh-based Wendy Graham who describes herself as a sustainability expert. She aims to make sustainability simple, by researching and writing on all things environmental – from product guides to breaking down big ideas. She publishes a green lifestyle blog that covers a variety of eco-issues.

Ecologi
Ecologi is an environmental organisation whose goal is to help individuals and businesses to have a positive impact on the environment and climate. Their aim is to revolutionise climate action by encouraging millions of people and businesses to become climate positive (reducing levels of carbon in the atmosphere). In other words, they want to do for everyday climate action what Spotify has done for listening to music, and Netflix for watching movies.
By paying a monthly subscription fee, you can help fund independently verified carbon offsetting projects and separate tree planting. Ecologi invests the money they receive from subscriptions into verified projects that remove more carbon dioxide than an individual emits (thereby covering your carbon footprint, plus more). Each month, Ecologi selects different climate projects to fund on your behalf. You can see all the climate projects they’ve supported here. Their full register, containing evidence and certificates of carbon offset purchases, is available here.
You can find a review of Ecologi on the Tiny Eco Home Life blog here.
