During half term, young people from Carney's Community Boxing Gym helped paint their mural. The design features elements integral to their local community such as boxing, cooking and cycling.

A recent #ClimateLiteracy workshop sponsored by @TRADA_ with contribution from @ArchitectsCAN involved students+tutors from 18 U.K. schools of architecture. Some audience participation gave attendees a space to share personal responses to both the #ClimateCrisis + the workshop.

I can’t tell you how nice it is to see this systemic problem elegantly summed up in a sentence. This isn’t pointed out anywhere near enough!

Amy Coney Barrett thinks climate change is up for debate. It’s not.
