The war on plastic is real, it’s escalating. Humans are devising new ways to tackle the ever growing problem that is plastic. We are recycling more, we have discovered plastic eating insects, We’ve deployed barriers across rivers to catch plastic, we have sophisticated tractor dragged rakes to pick up the plastic on our beaches. However, we […]
So I stumbled across a twitter thread today, quite innocuous but linked to a vital and important issue. Plastic straws. Now I know we have all seen that awful video of the poor turtle with the straw up his nose, but in case you haven’t… https://youtu.be/4wH878t78bw Here at ungagged we try really hard to support […]
Today’s 12 Days of Christmas challenge is arguably the most challenging, but we are sure you can do it. Did you know that in the top 10 of UK’s most endangered species are hedgehogs, turtle doves, red squirrels but also that 6 out of the 10 are in fact insects? Insects play a vital role […]

If you’ve been following along with Ungagged’s Activist Advent, you’ll recall that behind door number four we talked about the water protectors in North Dakota desperately fighting to keep their drinking water safe from contamination. We support that cause because we agree that water is life. What you may other now is that here in the […]
Imagine the outrage we would feel if a group of youths blocked off a small dog’s escape routes and chased it on bikes with much larger dogs baying for its blood. When the dogs catch up with the smaller dog, they tear it apart, unless one of the kids shoots it first. We would, quite […]
So since we have had a save the tree’s advent window, it only seems appropriate that we do a window for the animals that call woodlands their home. By protecting the environment and habitat of these wild animals, we can help them survive and thrive as us humans encroach ever further into their spaces. As […]
