The other is that your green claims need to be carefully considered, as over-claims can attract the interest of the ACCC. Find out how to close the green gap and give your product a green edge without pushing it over the edge.

Communicating Climate Change: Why hope - not fear - wins the day

It's been said that 'we have a scientific consensus on climate change but not a social consensus'. So how can it be that the most pressing environmental challenge of our time is not only not understood but not believed by so many people? In this talk Ben looks at why climate change is such a challenge to communicate, what works well and doesn't, then gives some simple frameworks to convince the unconverted and create behaviour change in the mainstream.

Lessons From My Left Testicle: How facing death can teach you to live
