We've got lots of great resources on how #CommunityEnergy and Local Authorities can work together on our website here: communityenergyengland.org/guidance/how...

Collaboration between local authorities and community groups is crucial to the success of #CommunityEnergy. Last year, we supported 31 councils and over 870 local organisations to build relationships and develop new community energy initiatives, including @fce-cbs.bsky.social. Find out more 👇

Lovely article featuring us! #communityenergy

"you don’t mind a wind farm nextdoor if you own it." Yes, exactly. There is research in the UK to suggest the same applies to attitudes here too. #CommunityEnergy for the win! (PS help us #UpTheEnergy here www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/up-the-ene... 😉 )

This is the second time this has happened. CBS News's Investigative unit got a retired ICE agent to break down the Good shooting frame-by-frame. On the record, he said the agents were entirely out of line. The piece was only posted online and never broadcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ywL...

The IPCC is using different methodologies to calculate different industry emissions. Using the *same* methodology, animal agriculture comes out as the biggest contributor to global heating—not fossil fuels. Listen to the episode with scientist Gerard Bissop: www.planetcritical.com/p/gerard-wed...

besides climate, as food production - and mostly livestock - has the most impacts on almost all "planetary boundaries" (as for instance prof Paul Behrens often explains: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjnO...

I am very proud of the amazing seminar series that the @gsiexeter.bsky.social was able to convene - another amazing speaker next week! forms.office.com/pages/respon... I joined @exeter.ac.uk in 2018 to help build the GSI with Tim Lenton. All good things come to an end... 🥹

since it’s well evidenced that for overall resilience, at least in the Global North, it’s shifts to more plant-based diets that matter the most (as Paul Behrens, Johan Rockström, Sir Charles Godfray, explain in the film). It’s also what shrinks our foodprints the most, with major cobenefits, e.g.👇

Today! Paul Behrens' @gsiexeter.bsky.social seminar. Paul will discuss the fragility of our resource systems and how resilience can be built within them to withstand the increasing challenges they face. 14:30-15:30, Streatham Court LT B & online here: forms.office.com/pages/respon...

I would add 'This Changes Everything' (2015) which is also a book and has teacher's guide. About climate change globally, and is inspiring. '2040' (2019) is also a nice view of the future for students, although it fails to mention the barriers we must overcome to create that future.

Oooh 👀 we're even closer now! Who's donation will get us over the line? Will it be yours? Let's #UpTheEnergy on #CommunityEnergy!

Or if we wanted to aspire to something truly great, we could look at how Paris transformed their waterfront for people:

One of my editors once suggested I should do a piece on “It Takes Two” coming back into pop-culture consciousness. “It never left,” I responded. #RIPRobBase youtu.be/phOW-CZJWT0?...

1. London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers. After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

They dropped Nature’s engineers to solve the London Hnderground flooding problem and they fixed it. Beavers 🦫 are amazing. Just plop them in the ecosystem and watch them repair it.

Rest easy, Rob Base 🥹💙🕊 Thank you & the late DJ E-Z Rock for giving us feel good music.....

When infrastructure treats bikes as serious transportation, society stops treating them as children's toys.
