All over Instagram, you’ll see gorgeous photos of people’s workspaces that are absolute #goals. You know which ones I mean: sleek white desks, Etsy prints stuck artfully on an equally sleek white wall, stunning stationery scattered perfectly around to create the ultimate flat lay.

But while these desks and workspaces are beautiful, they’re not always the most productive. After all, it can be hard...

We are lucky to share the planet with thousands of species of beautiful animals. And nothing quite beats seeing these animals in their natural habitat.

In fact, keeping animals safe and happy in their natural habitat should be everyone’s priority. Sadly, however, centuries of human interference are wreaking havoc on our natural ecosystems and leaving many wonderful species of wildlife vulnerable or...

As debates rage on over whether or not we should ban single-use plastic straws the help save the environment, most of us are starting to think more about small, eco-friendly changes we can make in our everyday lives.

It’s no secret that a vegan or plant-based diet is better for the environment. From saving water to reducing greenhouse gasses, going vegan can have a positive impact on the...

We’re halfway through the year now — which means our well intentioned New Year’s Resolutions are more than likely far from our mind. If you’re anything like me, you dropped about half your goals by mid-February, and left the rest to wither and die by April.

But June is the perfect time to reignite your motivation and get cracking on your goals again — or set some new ones. Here are five creative...

Here at Dingbats* Notebooks, we take our responsibility to the environment seriously. We don’t believe that the planet, ecosystems, and animals should suffer because of human existence, and we strive to be as sustainable and responsible in our practices as possible.

That’s why all of our notebooks are certified vegan by The V-Label EU(the only notebook to have this label!), which means no animals...

1. A quality notebook

This year, Dingbats* took its first step into the world of stationery shows and attended the London Stationery Show 2018.

We designed our stand in a natural wooden theme, and hung out notebooks on panels in the simplest and most creative way possible — using pallet corners! We used the stand to promote not only our mission, vision, and core values, but also our personality.

Thankfully, our stall was...

Yesterday (Sunday 22nd April 2018) was World Earth Day, an annual event where people all over the globe come together to promote and encourage sustainability, eco-living, and political change.

“It is a day of political action and civic participation,” says President of Earth Day, Kathleen Rogers. “People march, sign petitions, meet with their elected officials, plant trees, clean up their towns and...

It’s no secret that our planet is struggling. High populations combined with high consumption levels mean that the ice caps are melting, the global temperature is rising, weather is getting more extreme, our seas are filling up with plastic, and our forests are being chopped down at an alarming rate.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. While all governments and countries need to start making big...
