Great question from @emilyshuckburgh at #edie23: how can we all do more to go faster and further?

[Meryl Wingfield @MerylWingfield]

@SamanthaMalin @LottieShed I’m with you on mushy peas but what’s wrong with baked beans?! Essential foodstuff!

I’m thinking about changing EV and I’m looking for something small, good range and strong regen braking. Any suggestions?

[Meryl Wingfield @MerylWingfield]

@richardstobart How do you find the regen in it?

@AndrewFreeman3 @paulfp I have a Kona and the moment and love it! Fits exactly what I need. But my partner doesn’t love it - too bouncy - so I’m exploring what else. Glad to hear you love yours too :)

[Meryl Wingfield @MerylWingfield]

@paulfp I meant the ID.3 and I thought it had supply chain issues so it was basically impossible to get hold of, but maybe I’m being too pessimistic!

[Meryl Wingfield @MerylWingfield]

@paulfp I thought about that but not sure you can get them any more?

[Meryl Wingfield @MerylWingfield]

@RichardGledhill About that or smaller ideally

@brooktop68 That size is good but not sure about range. And any thoughts on one pedal driving? Can’t do without that any more!

[Meryl Wingfield @MerylWingfield]

@learnsmartuk I would love one but not sure about the range. What do you get?

[Meryl Wingfield @MerylWingfield]

@green_bens @brooktop68 I do love them! But what range do you get?

[Meryl Wingfield @MerylWingfield]

@RichardGledhill Good memory! I currently have a Kona - the finance contract is up later in the year and my partner doesn’t love it so thinking about what next. Still have the polestar 2 🥰

California’s almond-growing region covers over 1 million acres and is where ~80% of the world’s almonds are produced, valued at more than $10 billion.

The entire industry relies on imported bees for pollination, without which there would be no almonds.

It’s 4am in Montreal and after several years of negotiations, governments have just adopted an historic Global Biodiversity Framework for saving nature. Here’s a thread with my take on what's good and what's bad in it.
