Can our imagination solve the Climate Crisis?
As we recognise the agency to solve the growing problems in our society and systems, we need radical imaginations contributing to the pursuit of a path towards a better future.
@geoff.mulgan declares that using our collective imagination is the key to solving the great problems of our present and future.
Sir Geoff Mulgan CBE is a Professor of Collective Intelligence, Public Policy and Social Innovation at UCL and former CEO of Nesta. Geoff has explored ideas of collective intelligence, experimentalism, social investment and more.
This short film is part of a larger strand of work looking at how vital collective imagination is right now and how it can democratise access to a future that works for all of us, released in partnership with the @jrf_uk.

💚🚨!! Great BCorp news claxon !!🚨💚
We’ve just passed our @bcorpuk recertification! 😃💪🙌
Rubber Republic has proudly been part of the trailblazing B Corp community for over four years*. Every business who certifies is taking a stand to be part of the solution not the problem, and we couldn’t be more proud to be part of this growing community of amazing organisations. A smarter future is possible, but it takes those bold and visionary enough to invent the future we need, and the BCorp community is full of inspirational groundbreaking organisations redefining how business can operate.
Vitally, BCorps operations have to include in their goals and impacts their effects on their broader stakeholders of people, communities and the planet, and as every business depends on these things to operate, it’s smarter that we tie their future into our planning.
If anyone wants to join the (currently) 5,132 companies and counting, including Patagonia, Ben & Jerrys and Triodos Bank click here (or drop us a line if you need any advice)! LINK :https://www.bcorporation.net/en-us
* Recertification comes around every 3 (normal) years but the pandemic caused us a bit of a recertification delay 😬.
Noticed a rise in greenwash post COP26? Fear not - we’ve recruited some of the world's top business hamsters to explore the problem in the short film “Greenwash explained with hamsters” - live on @waterbearnetwork now.
Check out the trailer below, and then head over to Waterbear to watch the full film (subscription is free + link in bio).
With VO from @jolyonrubs, we explore our furry friend's world and expose various dubious practices hamster businesses use to mislead customers about their climate credentials. 🌍
Obviously no human businesses would do this kind of thing though....would they?
