We are very pleased to be working with @highlandsrewild at #Buloit to help their rare #dragonflies - they have 14 species!!! We visited on a beautiful day last week where we met staff & #volunteers & visited Odonata habitat which is drying out. #ClimateEmergency #Rewilding #Peat

Great message from for a really great cause @cancerpiscesct @marinagibson25 #gonefishing

[Marina Gibson @marinagibson25]

A much appreciated message from Paul Whitehouse and @RealBobMortimer just before the launch of @cancerpiscesct (in May) 🥹

Legends for getting behind so many charities and initiatives, they’re national treasures and brilliant ambassadors for the sport.

“Antibiotic-resistant strains of both [E. coli & S. aureus] were found in rivers adjacent to pig and chicken factory farms, as well as in slurry runoff from intensive dairy farms.

Now that should scare the hell out of you.

There are three components needed for the energy transition: renewable generation, flexibility (storage, mostly), and connectivity (between and within grids).

A purrfect evening with @GeorgeMonbiot at @DeBalie in Amsterdam last night discussing his book Regenesis & the need to #RebootFood.

The (unforseen) stupendous clean energy revolution has been the #1 story of sustainability since about 2015. What will happen in food may be THE story of the next fifteen years. #sustainabilty #rebootfood @GeorgeMonbiot

Taste test of the steak of @AlephFarms in @TIME

"I take a bite. The flavor is pure meat—a caramelized crust giving way to a savory richness... It doesn’t taste like the future. It tastes like steak. Without the guilt."

Last night I ate my first 3-D constructed steak, made entirely from plants, at the great Chouchou restaurant in Stockholm. It's astonishing. The texture's exactly right and the taste is excellent.
This is *before* we have precision fermented proteins, encapsulated fats and heme.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

We are on the cusp of a food revolution as profound as invention of agriculture. As long as we get certain things right, anyone who cares about the perpetuation of life on Earth should embrace it. My column.

Thread: Each week I’m running a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with just 5 hrs of storage (24 GW / 120 GWh)
Results:
last week: 100% RE
last 65 weeks: 99.0% RE (1/5)

@matthewgburgess @willmacaskill @xriskology Good summary of What We Owe the Future. I also felt it clearly articulates the threat of climate and for the climate community provides useful context on other existential risks; maybe a bit wonkish on population philosophy but overall very important and well articulated.

[giacomo grassi @giac_grassi]

Communicating the climate crisis to non-experts is difficult. Here I tried to illustrate in a simple way where we stand and where we are heading.

[WePlanet @weplanetint]

A full house in Ghent last night for the first event in our @GeorgeMonbiot tour for #RebootFood.

A big thank you to everyone that attended, to George & those that helped put the event on.

An excellent night of learning about the future of food & #ClimateAction.

[WePlanet @weplanetint]

The @guardianeco is today reporting on our #RebootFood campaign calling for animal agriculture to be phased out and replaced with identical foods made with precision fermentation.

This needs to be on the agenda at #COP27 https://t.co/nOf2l7vFok

It has taken a long time, but we're at last getting to grips with the enormous environmental impacts of the livestock industry. The struggle to defend the living planet against its predations will be familiar to anyone involved in fighting the fossil fuel industry 20 years ago.🧵

Are microbes the key to revolutionise our food system to feed 10 billion people on a limited world? On the 22nd November @GeorgeMonbiot will be at @HHU_de discussing the future of agriculture together with @letsreplanet, @oekoprog and you. Register now: https://t.co/5W6KIQ3bL2

Rebooting the world’s food system is the next most important environmental task after establishing renewable energy. #rebootfood #sustainability @GeorgeMonbiot

[WePlanet @weplanetint]

This morning @lanaweid, @Joelscotthalkes, @mark_lynas presented our #RebootFood manifesto live at #COP27.

The manifesto outlines a radical plan to reduce the environmental impacts and improve the resilience of the global food system.
