Hey @Hopper_Claude great photo! 😃 It was lovely to meet you in person. Thank you so much for making the journey down from Leeds to see us and visit the site. Looking forward to working with you, particularly on our Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion work!
It's weird how little climate change features in tv shows, films, songs or books
Most of our popular culture seems to be set in a world almost identical to this one, but which isn't in the midst of a planetary emergency
🤩 We are thrilled to announce that we have secured £5,000 from @thetudortrust to further our Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI) work🤩
We will now be able to start making the systemic shifts within our org that are needed to enable us to make meaningful changes ⚖️
We find it shocking that currently there are no widely agreed circular economy metrics for the built environment. This needs to change and fast! It’s a key way to help reach net zero and slow the irresponsible way we currently utilise precious resources. https://t.co/QmAolUlTw5
We have asked @BristolCouncil for a site where we can store materials we reclaim from around the city & bioregion, preventing them from ending up in landfill. This site could be shared with all Community-Led Housing groups to collaborate on @StephenPDale@MarvinJRees@TomRenhard
Our approach to National Space Standards is within 3 frameworks/models: 1) Regenerative Settlements 2) Co-housing (+communal spaces) 3) Community-Led Housing (not-for-profit) where prospective residents designing/building their homes choose 2 live the principles of the movement💚
Your friendly reminder that humans are actually quite good at governing the commons... as we routinely demonstrate with the formation of prosocial groups doing regenerative work.

A wonderful and comprehensive article explaining how we’re all developing our grassroots organisations and projects in the city. It’s exciting work, with many challenges along the way, but we’re getting there together. Power to the People!!! https://t.co/E5KtawkT5H
We're leading the way but crucially we need more investment and support A great piece on the groups we have supported and the wins and the challenges going forward. CLH needs more land and funding and finance! #whereischf @bristoclt @BristolCouncil

The way politics currently works is utterly not fit for purpose. We need to find multiple ways of raising funds to enable our work. Also we get a “there’s no money for CLH.” from our metro mayor, and no will to help us bring some in. Rubbish!
The 6th housing minister within a year.
It is impossible for us to get any decisions out of government with such frequent reshuffles.
The consequence? 100s of #communityledhousing groups unable to progress affordable homes for lack of funding.
Infuriating.
Somewhere, very near you, is a tiny being, just going about their day.
They don’t care about you, or me, nor any of our worries.
And I find so much comfort in that 💚🐌
