Right at the beginning of my small business journey, someone asked me when I first started to care about the environment. It dawned on me that there’s been a little touch of ‘eco’ running through my blood for as long as I can remember…

As a child of the eighties, I remember our primary school holding a mock election and being the only child to vote green. At 8 years old, I was completely unable to understand why no ones else shared my idealistic view of saving the planet.

So the idea for It’s Our Planet Too came about many years ago. Having studied Environmental Science at university, I had an idea for a website aimed at children about the environment, so I registered a few domain names, doodled a logo and forgot about it.

As my life changed and the London commute and the busy job were replaced by family life, I needed something to keep my brain ticking over. Inspired by the numerous children’s books I was reading every day, I started to write stories about endangered animals. I never intended to write in rhyme but these were the books that my children and I loved, so I decided to give it a go. Little did I know that these would become the foundation of It’s Our Planet Too. You'll find some of these rhymes dotted throughout our website, they are also included in our animal themed kits.

Fast forward a few years and my children are growing up in a world facing very real challenges. Their generation is starting to take notice of our impact on the environment. We need them to become eco-heroes who are empowered to make a difference. It’s Our Planet Too is about inspiring them to care…  It’s Eco Fun For Little People!

Thank you for reading and for your support, it means the world.
