@vinted is this a scam site or what? I’ve been waiting for €170 refund from the platform after a “payment failure”. I can’t get through to anyone and been waiting a month for a refund. This is unacceptable. How can you help me? #vintedscam

[brianjshaw @brianjshaw]

@DaveMcGeady They already do that with all the cycling lanes, subsidies for buying bikes etc. You need the carrot and the stick for things to move. I’d be very much in favour of taxing SUVs and regulating them for work use only such as on farms & building sites etc.

@BARBARtkowski @ZigaMalek @JvVliet just made it. 5 days seems reasonable.

[brianjshaw @brianjshaw]

@ZigaMalek Congratulations Žiga! Keep generating useful data and insights!

@andymcgeady did you trade your Raleigh for an UA?

@erasmuszu Great thread, thanks so much. Will read the paper with interest. In our experience, moving from indirect to direct is something most traders have little appetite for

[brianjshaw @brianjshaw]

Excellent study on indirect sourcing of commodities and the challenges that poses for avoiding deforestation. As well as the opportunities for traders to avoid avoiding deforestation 👁👁

[Erasmus zu Ermgassen @erasmuszu]

A handful of commodities (🐮🌴🍫☕️) cause a third of all #deforestation, harming millions of forest-dependent people, the climate & biodiversity

A few commodity traders (Cargill, Wilmar, Olam, etc) handle this trade

Here’s what you need to know about their sourcing practices 🧵

[brianjshaw @brianjshaw]

@andymcgeady Super nice Andy. Did you consider car-sharing as an option? Is it an option at all?

[brianjshaw @brianjshaw]

@andymcgeady @DaveMcGeady Only offset residual emissions, the ones you can’t avoid.

Everything you need to know about #regenerativeagriculture.

Our Agrifood Team has addressed its fundamental characteristics, the difference between #regenerative and #organic farming, and how businesses can operationalize it in a series of blogs.

[van der Heijden Lab @vandeHeijdenLab]

Is organic farming beneficial? We observed reduced ecotoxicity (-81%), erosion (-50%), a lower global warming potential (-50%), more earthworms (+90%), more mycorrhizas (+20%), higher per ha income, but less yield (-21%). Check out our paper:

This wonderful. We need more visions of techno-optimist regenerative futures!

And love the Miyazaki inspiration. Great job @Chobani!
