We are ConstructionXR, a new group of plumbers, electricians, architects, surveyors and construction sector workers, concerned about the climate crisis. Here is our letter to the Telegraph Online delivered today.@ConstructionXR @XRLondon @ScientistsX @ELPinchbeck @SpeakSarahSpeak

Grim situation in Chiva, west of Valencia tonight, where 430mm of rain have fallen today, with a scarcely believable 340mm of that falling in 4 hours!

[Hannah @GreenPartyHan]

This article is the biggest load of shite I’ve read since Dale Vince gave me a free copy of his book. Full of misinformation.

I started retraining to fit heat pumps in June. They’re bloody brilliant- wish I’d done it sooner. A far better heating solution for so many people.

luckily for the UK this is not the hurricane that might impact us…yet

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

We are now in the phase of the climate crisis where hurricanes are making meteorologists weep on live TV 💔 https://t.co/2caeIdvQUg

'We Mean Business' cards have just arrived. I'll be handing these out on building sites and to tradesmen I meet: seems appropriate in a week when UK might experience hurricane strength winds. Email [email protected] if you would like some cards. @XRLondon

Here is #CarbonCapture explained ...

[Get Construction Talking @GetConstTalking]

We’ve massively improved physical safety on construction sites. There's no reason why we can't now do the same for our mental wellbeing too ✊

HS2 team to trial clay as low-carbon alternative to concrete: Funding from Innovate UK seeks to reduce carbon emissions across infrastructure projects https://t.co/H6oJq5pjXH #construction #news

Agh mould from poorly fitted solid wall insulation. We should be providing warmer, cheaper, more comfort homes, but this is frustrated by skills gap, knowledge gap, lack of funding & marginalisation of natural insulation solutions.

📢HISTORIC moment nears with UK's LAST coal power station closing next Monday 30th! See our short-read summary & full-res video: https://t.co/2hGQlKhzJu

Are you ready to be inspiring?

If you work in the construction sector, consider our volunteering scheme in collaboration with @GoConstructUK & @CITB_UK. 🚧

Acting as the face of the industry for young people, you'll engage with them in schools, career fairs and events. 👷

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

In the late 1960s there was a big push to develop the Great Barrier Reef for oil & gas exploitation

But the Queensland Trades and Labour Council issued a 'black ban' - no union workers would provide goods or services to the oil industry

It was a 'pivotal moment'

I can’t believe that ONLY NOW have I discovered the construction possibilities when hula hoops and wot sits are combined.

Global wind power installations reached a new high in 2023, increasing renewable energy’s share of total power generation to 30%.

Who are the leading countries?

This graphic highlights the top 15 countries by total installed wind turbine capacity, based on data from the Energy Institute’s Statistical Review of World Energy 2024 report.

Enough of myth busters?

Here's a heat pump truth booster!

[Jo Alsop, Warmur @theheatinghub]

Not news but still depressing, homes built in the last 10 years are more expensive to run as a result of weak building regs. The new Future Homes Standard comes in next year and it's an opportunity to mandate solar, heat pumps and better insulation 🤞

Agreed. This is a complete no brainier.
EU making solar compulsory on all new builds by 2029….
