WE ARE BACK! And with a new identity 🔴

We thought a revisit of our visual identity made sense, as after 2.5y we’ve been experimenting and testing - and we are coming out of this knowing ourselves better than ever.

Please keep your eyes peeled for some spicy news. 🌶

I have had a bee in my bonnet for many years about this, and the bee is now frantic so here is a thread.

It is time to STOP saying “we know more about the Moon/Mars than the deep ocean”. It’s wrong & it’s damaging. Here’s why. [1/n]

We’re excited to bring you a new text, this time written by the duo Gribaudi Plytas!

The text tells the story of the change of perception GP went through after investigating plastics since January 2020.

We hope you will enjoy it 🤍https://t.co/Xdfa4pWddp

I’ve just finished some research about the use of biosolids (human sewage sludge) as farm manure. The results will keep me awake at night.
¾ of biosolids in the UK are spread on farmland. The rules about what it can contain are not fit for purpose. Please read and share this 🧵

This is an absolutely mind-boggling level of ecological damage from #NFT and #CryptoArt.

Thank you @memotv for writing and researching this.
