Just as some books/films product place products, we aim to ‘product place’ sustainable attitudes behaviours products and policies. The story doesn’t have to be specifically about climate change or catastrophic shortages, it can be any kind of genre – rom-com, crime drama, legal drama, children’s book, sci-fi etc. as long as it showcases sustainable technologies, practices, products or ideas in the background. Be creative and engaging with your writing.
For inspiration and guidance, you might like to purchase a copy of The Climate-Conscious Writers Handbook, which is a brilliant interactive resource full of information and ideas on how to tell Green Stories. You can get your handbook here.
You might choose to incorporate some of the following topics into your story – be creative this list isn’t extensive – you can include anything as long as it showcases sustainable behaviour.
There’s plenty of sources of inspiration out there for your own green story! Not only is there a multitude of fiction books, comics and films but there’s also a big collection of non-fiction books, academic articles, websites and blogs that you can explore and use for inspiration.
