Stunning

[Leif Bersweden @LeifBersweden]

Oh my GOODNESS I’ve wanted to see this for ages! 🥳 Alders contain tannins that leach into gathering raindrops, dyeing the liquid with colour. The effect is *stunning*. This Alder (Alnus glutinosa) I came across was glinting gold, amber & deep wine red. How beautiful is that! 😍

Heavy rain can quickly overwhelm our sewers and storm tanks when combined with wastewater from your toilets, sinks and showers.

To protect homes and businesses, #StormOverflows are used to release the water: https://t.co/ZiVCXQAkO7

This should make us all think and storage and transfer technology will improve #renewables #lowcarbon

[Carbon Tracker @CarbonBubble]

With talk of solar panels & farmland - a reminder the land req'd for #solar panels alone to provide *all global energy is 450,000 km2, 0.3% of the global land area of 149 million km2 – less than the current land footprint of #FossilFuel infrastructure 🤯https://t.co/oG5qFWsZ56

A really impactful if disturbing infographic. The link between rising CO2 and our changing climate is undeniable #ClimateCrisis

[Glen Peters @Peters_Glen]

Atmospheric CO₂ peaks in May each year, "just before plants in the northern hemisphere start to remove large amounts of CO₂ from the atmosphere during the growing season."

As expected January ended up a very dry month.

For England it was the ninth driest since 1862 with an average of just 38% of normal rainfall. Some parts considerably less than that.

Every day I meet intelligent, educated people, who have no idea we are sitting on the precipice of total climate breakdown and ecological collapse. They don’t realise that it is in years, not centuries that we will see disaster unfold.

The media have failed us catastrophically.

[Laura Grant @lauraepolicy]

The clever people in our social media team have produced this beautiful summary of the @CommonsEAC rivers report, perfect if you haven't the time to read it

Humans depend on agriculture which in turn depends on 20cm of topsoil. Soil conservation couldn't be a more important issue. Source: https://t.co/VUopjkI4Tb

Brilliant timing that #EFS21 follows the evidence session at @CommonsEAC yesterday. Many common themes of partnership, collaboration and innovation.

[Southern Water @SouthernWater]

It was great for guests to be welcomed by RT Hon Philip Dunne MP this morning, hearing about the impact unflushable items have on our rivers and seas. #EFS21

[SwiftComply (UK and Europe) @swiftcomplyuk]

A great panel moderated by @British_Water's Lila Thompson asking, with tougher goals towards green operations and circular economy, what challenges are we faced with when it comes to sustainability? Andrea Gysin @thameswater "We need to do more, we need to push boundaries" #EFS21
