If you are real about a fundamental transition of our streets, you need to challenge the implicit design priorities.

Any inclusive street pyramid🔻 should put nature and human life on top (by @GemeenteUtrecht).

Meningitis can be very serious if not treated quickly.

The NHS website has all the information you need, including what to look out for and when to get medical help.

[Al Gore @algore]

The Trump Administration is once again trying to deny science and reality – this time, by throwing out the well-established research connecting the climate crisis to public health.

While the Trump Administration can try to ignore the climate crisis, it’s painfully clear that the climate crisis will not ignore us. Last summer, the US experienced a dozen once-in-1,000-year floods in the span of just three days. In Texas, one of those flooding events killed at least 135 people, including 37 children at summer camp.

The Trump Administration’s rollback of the endangerment finding is not only a direct assault on science, knowledge, and public health, it is an insult to the people across the country who are already coping with the disastrous consequences of climate-driven extreme weather events.

The decision to revoke the endangerment finding is one of the more egregious examples of the Trump Administration prioritizing fossil fuel profits over American lives.

We’re saddened by the passing of Ruth June Bourne, a Bletchley Park Bombe operator whose secret work breaking Enigma was vital to Allied victory. Her legacy is part of GCHQ’s history. Our thoughts are with her loved ones.

Habitats for frogs, toads & newts are in decline: 50% of ponds were lost during the 20th century, & of those that remain, 80% are in a poor state. So garden ponds are crucial for helping amphibians survive. They help all sorts of other wildlife too! More: https://t.co/73fHi6U7lz

Urban trees play a vital part in combating pollution by cleaning the air around them and capturing carbon.

Without trees, we would be breathing unhealthy air and releasing significantly more CO2 into the atmosphere.

Will you help in the fight for clean air across the UK?

Christmas is HERE! 🎄

A heartfelt thanks to the people of Oslo for this amazing gift!

Plastic tape (eg Sellotape) isn't recyclable – and if you put tape-covered wrapping paper in the recycling bin, it can contaminate the paper recycling. Using recyclable paper tape is one solution.

During the 1914 - 1918 war, Alexandra Palace housed refugees from Belgium, and then enemy aliens and prisoners of war.
They were allowed to keep chickens.
They took some guarding.
