Hello and welcome to my channel where we explore the latest and greatest in healthy, sustainable living. I’m Lizzie Carr and I’ve been an environmental campaigner for eight years. When I'm not running the non-profit I founded, Planet Patrol, where we collect and analyse environmental data to hold big polluters and bands to account, you'll find me on the water on my paddle boarding. I've completed three world first SUP challenges and wrote a best-selling guidebook 'Paddling Britain' with all my favourite spots across the UK.
So what can you expect from my channel? Product reviews and trials and my honest thoughts, hot takes on environmental and sustainability news, updates on the work Planet Patrol is doing (and ways you can be involved) and, I'll be sharing all my paddle boarding adventures with you too.
Thanks for being part of the journey! Lizzie x

PFAS: The Silent Water Pollutant Threatening Our Health
We need to talk about forever chemicals and the evidence out there that is pointing to how urgently policy makers need to act with strong legislation.
@LizzieOutside looks at the impact of PFAS on human health, wildlife and ecosystems and how standards in the UK are shamefully lagging behind international standards.
We need to be informed and armed with the evidence so we can use public pressure to fight that inaction from both industry and legislators.

How to get involved in Autumn Water Watch 2022
Переглядів 141Рік тому
Water is central to the health, well-being and livelihood of everyone on this planet. In the UK, the biggest risk to water quality is the ongoing lack of sampling, monitoring and reporting. The impact on both human health and the ecosystems that rely on them are still largely unobserved and unreported. Right now we have a monumental information gap that needs to be urgently filled, and that can...

How to Paddleboard the English Channel - on a Budget
Переглядів 2 тис.4 роки тому
In 2018 I became the first female to solo paddleboard the English Channel. It was a big challenge and it involved lots of research and preparation which, back then, there wasn't any guidance to follow. A lot of people have been in touch with me in recent months asking for tips / advice and guidance for this challenge, so this video captures a lot of the most common ones to help you plan and pre...
HOMEMADE NATURAL DEODORANT RECIPE - JUST 3 INGREDIENTS!
Переглядів 1,4 тис.4 роки тому
Homemade or natural deodorants are often seen as weaker or less effective than chemical based ones - but that's a big myth. I've been using natural deodorants for a while now and I'm a total convert. And more recently I started experimenting by creating my own homemade deodorant using just THREE ingredients. 1) Organic coconut oil (4 tablespoons) 2) Arrowroot powder or cornstarch (3 tablespoons...

Have you ever considered the impact of your bank on the planet? Do you know if the money stashed in your savings is funding fracking sites, arms dealing and fossil fuel initiatives? If you bank with any of the UK's top five banks (HSBC, Barclays, Santander, RBS (and Natwest) and Lloyds)... and chances are you do as they collectively account for 80% of the market... then please watch this video....

Well Done! What's your next goal? Backwards? Hopping?
i honestly learned to walk backwards comfortably before forwards-i think it was something about sensing it with my body rather than just looking where to step
shocking. Thanks for highlighting this Lizzie.

Thinking about doing this to fundraise for Alzheimer research. This video was so helpful!! One last question though... did you fall in much? My mission when paddling is to stay well above the water, but am I deluded in thinking it's doable with falling in???
Winter paddling!! How do you paddle the 4 months the water is solid??
I'd be crapping myself, seal bites are nasty!
He is wearing a hood so would hopefully be fine and is with the experts sea snorkeling I have been to its amazing but would probs be fine

No its reduce... Reuse... Ecyc e

Thanks so much for this and sharing your knowledge with us ...I am a regular water 'dipper' and wanted a paddle board for ages & after a few wobbly tries on someone's board..I was hooked, its indescribably wonderfull ....ive just invested in my first board ... ..I'm definitely going to book a few individual lessons with an instructor and join a club .... Safety is paramount and like you said, ....and I wouldn't consider wandering onto open water without experienced company ..
Lizzie - you are lovely, so honest, so pure...and to be fair, you hit the mark on all of your answers to great beginner questions. Thank you. Thank you. Cheers from CT of USA
Looks like a fun long weekend. Might copycat on that.
Great stuff. Thank you for sharing your insights. It's appreciated. :-)
you are there best better than ever
amazing video Lizzie

Thanks for taking the time to put together such an informative and inspirational video Lizzie. A big help in answering some of the questions that were rattling around in my head! Planning to try and do this next year (2022) to “celebrate” turning a half century old. Typically do about 40-50k/week at the moment so obviously need to ramp it up a bit! Would certainly be interested in partnering up with a team if anyone is interested! Thanks again and good luck with the research. Nick
I've only paddle boarded once with a friend a few weeks back so this is all research. That being said I would be up for a channel crossing at some point. Always on the look out for a new challenge.
Well said Lizzie! I'm looking into Triodos Bank now...
Great info ....book purchased 👌
Mad respect! That's insane! Ur a boss!
Wow great information!!!!!!
Great video. Thanks for putting together and sharing. Surprising how little this is talked about
Lizzie what a gorgeous video. Thanks so much. I’m a lightweight, bought a paddle board to relax on the water, I’ve a lot to learn, starting out on the lakes where there are many other boarders to learn from and with. Hoping for a fun summer. By the way for sure the Isles of Scilly are magical. I visited many years ago. 😃
Ha I saw Newark Castle!
I really want to do this to raise money for mind but have no idea how to start
Good balance
hi Lizzie is Anna copeland great video is December 5th 2020
Hi Lizzie, Thank you so much for this video. I agree, greenwashing is an absolute horror & personally, I feel really strongly about it. I recently started a small startup, focused on transparency within supply chains. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how we can improve if you are up for it? Our platform is www.greenramona.com And my personal email is maris@greenramona.com I'd love to hear more from you and if possible, collaborate! Best, Maris
Thanks for making this video. I’m interested in joining the team for the next crossing!
I ordered your book over a month ago . You have my money but I still have no book . Am so disappointed
Thanks, love your book.
Just watched this video based on a recommendation. Bought the book yesterday, so was happy to find that it was yours! Thank you for the hints and tips. I look forward to getting stuck into the book.
What do you think of this? ua-cam.com/video/p8e-H77NNoI/v-deo.html
Thank you for this. Very informative . I’ll be ordering your book 😊🙏
Hi Lizzie! Thanks for these tips, I’m getting my 1st board next week, can’t wait! I’m new here, look forward to watching some of your paddle adventures! Stay safe Ash 🏕
What leggings did you wear? I am planning a group crossing with my brother and a few of my friends. Thanks for all of the insight.
Is anyone looking to complete this crossing as a group? Would love to hear from you. Thanks. James
Yes. Me and a few of my family and friends are planning to cross and are training now.
Well done Lizzie. I just want to paddle from the Sussex Coast to the Rampion wind farm one day, so this is all very sincere and helpful information!
Would love more details on this please. Permissions for paddling and camping locations etc. Liked your video with The North Face too.
great info
