@guyshrubsole Yep - I would help with the fundraise, governance and set up.

DESNZ attitude tracker is out

82% of the public care about climate change

85% of people think we can reduce the effects of climate change if we all do our bit

Trust in newspapers and social media for info on climate is low, high for scientists

BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day!

These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years.

Hey @Jeremy_Hunt We give oil and gas companies £42 million each week in tax breaks! Why not #savetheplanet instead? #climatefight

#ClimateChange is about consumption of richest people in our global society

50% of global life style emissions are emitted by richest 10% of the population.

90% of global emissions by richest 50% of the population.

We need #ClimateJustice to deal with the #ClimateCrisis fairly

Interesting article highlighting why recycling isn't the solution

It's time for change! ♻️👐 #ReducePlastic for a #BetterFuture

Tackling plastic pollution: ‘We can't recycle our way out of this’ https://t.co/3CdHOsza0c via @FRANCE24

Absolutely Pete Seeger - couldn’t agree
more. We need a circular economy to drive a better
future. Nothing should be thown away - that is no way
to make a #betterfuture.

[Better Century @BetterCentury]

You see we can cut plastic pollution, we just need the right policies (driven by consumer demand).

@JustStop_Oil Amazing. You have achieved what we all need, which is to keep on talking about climate action. Governments shouldn't be granting oil licences, they should be protecting our future. You are very right to disrupt to make the conversation continually heard until action is taken.

We all need to watch what we eat (for our health and nature's). This report shows that buying from organic and low intensive farms can make a massive difference to nature.

Amazing to see money flow in the right direction - from destruction to regeneration - hope this project gets the cash it needs!

@Deloitte polled 23,000 people about climate change. Here were the results:

70% are trying to minimize their impact on the environment.
55% research brands' environmental impact and policies before accepting a job.

The University of Strathclyde discovered that 0.5% of global carbon emissions can be sequestered by passing CO2 through rock powders, commonly wasted when extracting rocks for construction.

That’s a big dent in the problem just by refining a process!

Scientists have discovered an enzyme from a soil bacteria that created electricity out of hydrogen in the air.

The Huc enzyme offers a real new solution for renewable energy.

There is a long way to go but discoveries like this make our day!

Agrivoltaics offer a solution to energy and food production. This brave new world could be energy and food-abundant, and carbon positive.

We like these apples, carrots, tomatoes and all sorts that could be grown in conditions.

A hopeful report on global carbon emissions, which have seen a rise but are slowing. In China flatlining and in Europe 2.5% decrease.

We are slowly stemming the flow of carbon 😉

We love this from @AwareAnimals . Make simple choices every day which aren’t hard and you, me and the earth will make progress to a better future!

Less than 1% of properties in the UK are powered by renewable technology.

Are we in a climate crisis? I think we are… Does the way your home uses energy reflect that?
