Britain’s wildlife is suffering – one in ten UK wildlife species are under threat of extinction. Roads, buildings and intensive farming are destroying our wild places. We decided to do something about it. That’s where Ecotalk was born – a mobile phone service with a green outcome. It is a simple way to help nature with your phone while enjoying some of the best tariffs and network coverage in the country.
We use the money from our customers’ phone bills to buy land which we give back to nature. We started with 40 acres of land at Lynch Knoll in Gloucestershire. We also helped the RSPB secure Fairburn Tips in Yorkshire.
At the heart of this business is a team of fantastic people - energetic and passionate about what we do, who work together to make things better and who are keen to ’shake things up a bit’ by challenging what others see as “conventional wisdom”.
