This is the most poignant and profound quote, of massive relevance to today's situation, even if it was from a book published in 1949, A Sand County Almanac, by Aldo Leopold. The seminal environmentalist work. Please share widely.

Rewilding is hope!

Landscape scale habitat restoration in Scotland. AND Pine Marten have now returned!

[Sian Berry @sianberry]

Right London. One good thing about the weather is it lets us see in *real life* how much space the traffic really uses. This is called a ‘Sneckdown’

Your mission - if you have a vantage point - is to send me all your Sneckdown photos for my files today! #londonsnow #sneckdown

[Rachel Hearn @_rachelhearn]

Unsurprising, yet tragic news. Angry, sad and extremely worrying when birds are cornerstones of ecosystems. “Half of world’s bird species in decline as destruction of avian life intensifies” https://t.co/ZIYXJmooPD

Master of all trades: retrofit firm tackles climate and cost of living crises. A great example of the way forward that benefits living costs, the environment and skill training. We need much more of this + government incentives. https://t.co/8DlvKLa0KH

When our environmental predicament is so vast and so obvious, why are so few eminent and powerful people prepared to confront it, or even seriously to discuss it?
Here’s a thread that seeks to explain the Great Silence.

[Smith Mordak @[email protected] @SmithMordak]

Today is #EarthOvershootDay, meaning that humanity’s ecological footprint from new year’s day until yesterday needs to be shared over the whole year over the whole population. Instead some are living as if they had 3, 4 of more planets. It’s hard to imagine a bigger conceit. 🧵

Holiday pictures of external shading, southern France. As individual householder I do wish it was easier in the UK to find shading that is external, movable, manual, and still allows air flow. #shading #overheating #housing #retrofit #adaptation #ClimateAction

Court orders UK government to explain how net zero policies will reach targets https://t.co/ukY5ybYufC

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

With record-breaking 40ºC+ temperatures now recorded, don't forget:

Just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions.

This is a capitalist crisis and only system change can avert climate catastrophe.

[Smith Mordak @[email protected] @SmithMordak]

Those who can afford to will use more energy and puff out more emissions, keeping themselves comfortable in an increasingly hostile climate, making it more inhospitable for everyone else. Is this the path we want to set ourselves on?https://t.co/4JtGvlJva5

Ask for trees in your city 🌳

BIG NEWS: Milan has approved a £200 million plan to create a new 750km network of bike paths linking 80% of the city to bike paths, & connect the city to surrounding areas. The goal is to achieve a 20% modal shift to biking by 2035.

Strategy & leadership.

Active travel like walking and cycling is a gendered issue. Don't believe me? I'll prove it to you.

[Paul Reynolds @_PaulReynolds]

Just seen the sad news that Richard Rogers had died. His work on the urban task force shaped the way we think about & design our towns & cities ever since and reversed the move to the suburbs. A real loss to not just at architecture but urbanism as a whole https://t.co/sAeipZRw1S

[Sophia Parker @mssophiaparker]

am at that point in dec when i am regretting the number of ‘i’ll get that done by christmas’ promises i’ve made. so this thread about @ChaynHQ’s approach looks not only brilliant but also very sensible.

[Rachel Hearn @_rachelhearn]

@alpa_depani Likewise! Hopefully catch-up in one way or another soon
