Gorse and bramble are not scrub to be tidied. This should become an ecological crime. Why? Because thorned bushes are the parents of new trees. And, with enough scrubland establishment in the UK, there may be no need for wretched tubing, or even tree planting at all. Simples.

@buildinglegends Listening without interrupting. The value of being able to think out loud KNOWING you are not going to be interrupted. Enables slower, deeper thinking beyond our usual script. See https://t.co/mhwqd6cJQN for guides and principles.

@GeorgeMonbiot This incredible chart shows how far off balance we’ve moved with mass animal production, compared to the natural state 100,000 years ago

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

To side with denial is to side with stupid. Don't do it to yourself.
Get informed, get smart, set your gut instincts and system justification aside, and consider the evidence on its merits.
Thank you.

13. Each of the scientific papers it refers to opens up a trail of citations (going forwards) and references (going backwards). So it’s easy to learn more (accursed academic journal paywalls permitting).

12. There’s loads of information about the impacts of livestock farming, and the technologies and politics that could lead the transition away from it, in Regenesis, supported with abundant references. https://t.co/Lsayf2OttP
