Greenwatch - David Toke says Tory/Reform plans to axe carbon pricing would deal another body blow to British industry buff.ly/JitGq3w #chartist48

In response to the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, the government legislated for Residential Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (RPEEPs) in 18m+ and some 11-18m buildings. This morning I welcomed social landlords to a workshop with the London Fire Brigade to raise awareness of the importance of RPEEPs.

“The plan builds on the knowledge, experience and success of community energy groups across the UK and the ‘working with’ not ‘doing to’ approach is welcomed." @kateaparker.bsky.social on the Local Power Plan

Our right to protest is under threat. I just signed @friends-earth.bsky.social petition to stop new police powers that could shut down many peaceful protests and weaken our democratic rights. Add your name too: action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/rig...

I dont know what everyone is so worked up on how long solar panels can last. The avg useful life of a vehicle is 12-16 yrs whereas a solar panel is beyond 30 yrs & can last upwards of 50 yrs. Plus 95-99% of a solar panel is recycable.

Excellent as always: English lawyer, @davidallengreen.bsky.social explains the recent Palestine Action ruling. This is not just of interest to fellow lawyer weirdos like me, but everyone

The proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful, but we also shouldn't forget that the manner in which the proscription was enforced was blisteringly stupid. Continuing to arrest grandmothers for holding signs was a massive waste of police resources and did nothing to deal with the supposed threat

“The plan builds on the knowledge, experience and success of community energy groups across the UK and the ‘working with’ not ‘doing to’ approach is welcomed." Our co-chair @kateaparker.bsky.social was present at the launch of the government's Local Power Plan earlier this week - buff.ly/0czObIb

“Last year was a big year for us... We reduced costs for vulnerable people in all kinds of different ways to create a sustainable energy community. It’s about all the areas working together, leaving no-one behind on our journey. We try and be as embedded in the community as we can.” buff.ly/B6VU5ge

Selce's LEDing the Way project replaces old, inefficient and costly lighting systems with low energy lighting for community buildings like schools, leisure centres & halls. Watch the film from our last lighting share offer on how it helps local services, at no upfront cost

How do community shares actually work? They have been used by a huge number of different organisations across the country. One way to look at them is that they are simply a democratic way for the community to buy the assets that they need.
