@Hearni @MikeBernersLee Exactly what I think: https://t.co/Ihv9uOQLoe

@MikeBernersLee "Respect for all People, truth and environment."
I know you'll say the environment encompasses animals, but I think it's important to call them out. This planet is theirs too. Our anthropocentricity is part of the problem is it not?

Dare we say 'happy days'!

Great Britain has gone two month without coal and yes, that is a big deal.

It's gone from 40% coal powered to ~2% in 8yrs. And plenty for other countries to learn from the experience.

How did it happen and what does it mean?

Thread with charts…

Even giving him the benefit of the doubt and saying his medium sized flights (he probably flew private didn't he?) were 100% full, he almost breaks our calculator:

@FlightFree2020 Holy crap, this guy from GGV capital just casually says he used to fly 200,000 miles a year for work!

#COVID19 has made us stop and make sacrifices, very rapidly. Can we take the cue to make more long lasting sacrifices for the planet?
In this article, @krishnan_kartik makes his commitment, explains his reasons and his plans for more #sustainableliving.

@FlightFree2020 @jjh51012 Perhaps an idea is to develop messaging that says you are in lockdown now, maybe have more time to reflect. Once this is over can you ensure your next trip is by train? This is an opportunity to reset and try new things...

https://t.co/5OD5Bj7QOD We've asked our MP to unblock onshore wind. Will you do the same?

Feeling the January Blues? Tempted to book a cheap flight to the sun? Also worried about climate change?

Why not check out some of our top holiday destinations to get to by land and sea?

This is absolutely the trouble with the way the media reports things. Why not blend the two pieces into each other.. surely audiences would prefer that.

[Mike Berners-Lee @MikeBernersLee]

R4 Today programme just followed a piece on climate emergency with a piece cutting on air passenger tax - and, yet again, no cross referencing. 2020 has to be the year we achieve some coherence and integration of thinking

[LowCo Living @LivingLowco]

@chriswearshats We like this. Also to the point of no pain (unemployment etc.), I think the sooner we realise there has to be a reduction in living standards - gone are the days of ignorantly using excess food, excess travel, excess energy - the better.

[LowCo Living @LivingLowco]

This is really good news. But now we need that gas % to go down and keep the pressure on the govt. to not do anymore fracking! #energymix #ClimateEmergency @XRebellionUK

[LowCo Living @LivingLowco]

Happy new year folks! Here's to 2020 being a big year for the climate movement! It just has to be right?

If this can be adhered to, it will be amazing!

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The Dutch Supreme Court ruling is big news. The govt has a legal duty to combat climate change, and must cut emissions by 25% in 12 months.

The decision is based on the European Convention on Human Rights, thus enabling citizens in all 47 signatory states to take similar action.

[LowCo Living @LivingLowco]

Awesome that we have this visibility now. Complete shame if it goes by unpunished.

#Exxon Mobil disaster at a #fracking site in Ohio leaked as much #methane into the atmosphere as the entire #oil & #gas industries of Norway or France release in a year https://t.co/WwLT35KoWO #SatelliteMonitoring

[Green Anglicans @Greenanglicans]

That's a wrap. COP25 an epic failure. Lot of hot air and carbon emissions. Stop asking what can I do? Start asking 'what movement can I join? 5 percent of active citizens can change the world @YaleCAN @therealCAN_U @CClimateAction @AfrClimAlliance @YECAction @actclimate

We hate single-use plastic just as much as the next eco-conscious person, but just to put things into context. From @FlightFree2020. For more context on what 3.24 tons of CO2 means, go here: https://t.co/jeJl4zU02E

@ztiruam Not sure if you saw this: https://t.co/8aiBTsFfAa
Let's make this happen!
