@ImmyKaur @jenhooke @carrinag Awww! I just saw this. I’m never on this site anymore so missed it. It was so wonderful seeing you. And such a big thank you for joining the session <3 Sending you a big hug from icy Wellington. xx

@Kez___S What a powerful invitation. I don’t suppose it will be recorded or anything shared after? I’d love to learn from this for the other side of the world.

@HVArtMcGrath @ProjectDrawdown The family size one has had the methodology questioned (worth digging into if you have time and interest) but I was also surprised by several of the ones on drawdowns list.

@ajonoguy @skrybnz Electricity, waste and other energy. (Percentages in the infographic…)

Almost all carbon offset projects are junk.

In good and climate-smart communities, infill housing should bring more life to the streets, and most streets should feel like linear parks.

But North American planning politics insists on putting lawns where homes should go, and cars where trees should go.

Kind of a problem.

Whether it's ‘what about China?’ or the cost of living, climate action is as contested in language as any other way.
We’re keen to hear a wide range of people's responses to tricky climate arguments.

just saw this in tiktok and it’s definitely the nicest and kindest argument for doing anything politically positive

@matty_prasad But also, way more nuance than a single tweet can do justice to.

[Pip Wheaton @PipWheaton]

@matty_prasad the point I take is that we need to think about housing differently on a few fronts - smaller footprints, reusing materials, retrofitting & repurposing buildings. I mainly see ppl talk about supply/demand; cost & availability. How do we embed the connection of these issues?

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

We found that, at the achieved rates, these countries would on average take more than 220 years to reduce their emissions by 95%, emitting 27 times their remaining 1.5C fair-shares in the process.

There is nothing "green" about this. It is a recipe for disaster.

[Pip Wheaton @PipWheaton]

@H20FrntDsgn @MikeLydon Such a great example!

[Pip Wheaton @PipWheaton]

@julesallover Sending love and solidarity. You were good to me when I was starting out on this journey - I’ll never forget it. if there’s anything I can do, just say the word.

[Pip Wheaton @PipWheaton]

@DjHookie This is awesome! Well fucking done.
