While Turin is known as the “Detroit of Italy”, and home to the largest car manufacturer in the country, there is a tacit understanding its heart is no place for vehicles. The main square in Piazza San Carlo was stripped of parking in 2004, turning it into the city’s living room.

We hear a lot about the gender pay gap - but what about the gender wealth gap?

Analysis of wealth in the UK by @WomensBudgetGrp shows that, on average, men hold around £78k more wealth than women - that's a gap of 21%!

Here @ignaciapinto explains more👇

Almost two billion items of plastic packaging are thrown away in the UK each week. Shampoo, body wash and liquid hand wash add to this plastic pile-up - so switching from bottles to bars is better for the environment. Eight plastic-free soap bars to try: https://t.co/BwEWfYJRuJ

In a week when a new almshouse scheme in Southwark won the prestigious Stirling Prize for excellence in architecture, it was good to visit some of the wonderful historic 'hofjes' (courtyard almshouses) of Haarlem and Leiden - still fulfilling their founding purpose.

“With perimenopause, I feel my body seizing up if I don’t move."

Amanda felt perimenopause hit her with various symptoms in her late 40s. Now she moves in ways that work for her and help her manage her symptoms. #WorldMenopauseDay

Government plans could swap strict wildlife protection for offsetting🚨

But there’s no evidence the Nature Restoration Levy would work for protected species, from Barn Owls to Grey Seals🦉

Stronger safeguards are needed. We’re calling for a strict precautionary approach, ruling out species unless there’s independent scientific evidence and accurate baselines to prevent risks to wildlife🦭

Without that, the new approach would be reckless guesswork👇

Why won't you mandate Swift bricks in new builds?
Save one swift today, and save a species tomorrow.

Did you see the swifts featured on tonight’s #HamzasHiddenWildIsles! 🕊️

These incredible birds spend almost their entire lives in the air but return to our buildings to nest.

Many insects hibernate over winter, but bumblebees and butterflies may emerge during mild spells and will look for food. So growing nectar-rich, pollinator-friendly plants is especially important in winter and early spring.

[Trees for Streets @TreesforStreets]

All year round, trees protect us from extreme weather, keeping us all a little bit more comfortable.

🌧️ During rainy months, trees are vital for flood protection, absorbing rainwater runoff
☀️ In summer months, trees act as nature's air conditioning, cooling the air around them

They do a lot more than just look pretty!
