More unpredictable weather year after year.....
Two years of extreme rain, followed by an extremely hot and dry year, meeting historic winds.
The fires in Los Angeles are the result of years of cascading extreme weather conditions created by carbon pollution from burning oil, gas, and coal.

This week’s unholy mix of drought, wind, and fire in Southern California » Yale Climate Connections
It’s one of the biggest fire and wind threats in years for the northern end of the Los Angeles region.

🇪🇸 A little about our 2025 adventure...
👀 The Camino Primitivo is the "original way" along Spain's Camino de Santiago, a network of pilgrimage routes across Europe, and the Primitivo is significant because it's the oldest Camino pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela.

Three very ordinary people hoping to make some big changes to how we have adventures.
But we need your help!
Share your tips for how you run in the places you love, without having a huge impact on the planet.

🌱 Be the Change, Just Like the Lorax! 🌳
Green Runner Ben writes about occasional feelings of powerlessness when it comes to the planet.
Instead of letting the enormity of the climate crisis overwhelm him, he finds empowerment in the small, meaningful actions that add up to make a difference. 💚

Some records are not made to be broken. Earth is heading for a new PB.
#ClimateCrisis crisis deepens with 2024 ‘virtually certain’ to be hottest year on record, says @CopernicusECMWF
- It will also be the first to have an average temperature of more than 1.5C above preindustrial levels

We're trying to do adventures better.
In a climate crisis, we're changing the way we do things to protect this planet as best we can.
Come and join in the adventure.

Well, this is now a ‘thing’!
I’m off on an adventure with two wonderfully likeminded souls next year, to highlight environmental problems within the travel and running community - so we’re crossing land and sea in a more sustainable way, then running like hell for a week. Fun!

Thoughts on Black Friday?
We're resisting the temptation to buy new kit - seeing that some 22 billion pairs of trainers are chucked into landfill every year, and 100 billion new garments are produced annually.
We're looking to reuse, repair and recycle where possible.

1/4 👋 We're the Eco Pilgrims, a trio off on adventures that don't cost the planet.
⛰️ We (Laura, Jay and Ben) want to show that slow travel can be exciting and fast-paced, but without the heavy environmental price. We'll be demonstrating how to do this by taking on a big trip next year.
