@Earby_Fire Good job Mick, 😁

[Sam Paul Ⓥ @FreeSamPaul]

There are complaints about paper straws being bandied about, because plastic straws are recyclable. 🤦🏻‍♂️Paper IS far more recyclable than plastic, it naturally biodegrades and is absorbed into the environment. It's like saying plastic cartons are better than paper. smh

[Sam Paul Ⓥ @FreeSamPaul]

Recycling your plastic creates the impression that you are saving the planet, but you are mostly exploiting a poorer country, burning fossil fuel to get it out of sight.

We must avoid plastic, at all costs.

Omg, it's recycle week, I didn't realise that when I posted this. Poor coincidence.

Why am I so bad at twitter lately.

Avoiding single use plastic is better than recycling, but recycling is better than not recycling.

ERICPD! Please do recycle!!!

@kendallahughes @maisiemaytorr Soy milk is most nutritious, but taste varies wildly between brands. You get used to it fair quick, same as if you drink skimmed uht milk tho you prefer full fat, before long your palette adapts and you prefer skimmed

Cashew milk is the tastiest, I bet it as an occasional treat

@StnMgr_Wyre Two pavements are in a bar drinking, suddenly a bit of road walks in shouting

"come and have a go if you think your hard enough!"

One pavement turns to the other and says

"don't make eye contact, he's a cyclepath."

3) Particularly there are issues around rainforest destruction for grazing, animal feed and fossil field used to carry these cheap meats across the ocean.

And the quality of local food, its so much better. We buy cheap stuff and massively process it to make it palatable. Why?

1) STC today, fantastic incident command study.

The lentil & quinoa lunch tho, ty Wendy.

On the recent climate issues, of which animal ag plays a lrg part. My Lancs fire family, please try one of Wendy's vegan masterpieces, collectively make a difference. (pls email ahead tho)

2) Ericpd, if you don't want to Eliminate, please Reduce. Only choose high welfare, high quality animal produce. Choose vegan options where they look good

In doing so you reduce methane production and reduce your carbon footprint, any amount reduction slows down ozone depletion

@EE 2/2) of cold calling, do you also have doorstep sales people?

Can you confirm your sales people aren't pressured to meet quotas (financial/job security) making them unconciously biased towards predatory tactics?

How do you prevent this behaviour? call monitoring, repercussions.

[Sam Paul Ⓥ @FreeSamPaul]

Today I heard my mentally disabled friend giving his personal details out over the phone. Concerned for his safety I talked to the cold caller.

Shame on you @EE, trying to sell a new phone contract in such a predatory fashion, and then to try justify that attempt as 'Equality'.

[Sam Paul Ⓥ @FreeSamPaul]

@EE 1/2) I'm not sure I 'got in touch', more like 'named and shamed'.

I do have the name of the caller, however I'm reluctant to hand it over as it seems like you'll punish a worker for a systemic problem.

Rather than a witch hunt for a scape goat, can you justify the practice.....

.@coopuk are promoting #vegan one day a week in a new shelf end, along with some new meals that we’re looking forward to trying

[Sam Paul Ⓥ @FreeSamPaul]

@Earby_Fire Awesome station👏 awesome crew👏 awesome job👏 awesome adventure👏

The only way to find out if you could do this is to try. Hold your head up high, try. Be proud of it.

Self improvement is core to the role.

I'm still improving, I'm not ashamed of that, I'm well proud of it.

Customer: "Can you price-match Amazon on this book?"

Us: "No. We don't get the same margins as Amazon. And we have costs they don't in daily running the shop. And we pay tax. And the book is here, in your hands, right now."

C: "I'll go to Amazon, I think."

remember when they taught us to cut soda rings so dolphins wouldn't get caught in them? why didn't they teach us to NOT THROW TRASH IN THE OCEAN

This (relevant) story is something I recall often. Ops, training, protection, prevention, teaching my kids, talking to my wife, working with new team mates, addressing strangers... simply everything.

@MrTedds This time I tried leftover water melon. The oats absorbed the flavour, so delicious, success!

[Sam Paul Ⓥ @FreeSamPaul]

Overnight oats. Kids gonna feel special when they see these in the morning, silly little thing, but it's healthy and will set their day off on high note.
