More and more clients are looking to build and refit homes to be net zero but the solutions are not cheap #2050startsnow

January: Govt launches Bill promising to *protect* environment for future generations

Today it greenlights HS2 which will imperil:
108 ancient woodlands
5 wildlife refuges
39 nature reserves
33 *protected* sites

So what happened to joined-up thinking? https://t.co/H4jCsGf62T

'Liking' doesn't cut it anymore, so we'll just retweet. We're well beyond sleepwalking into disaster scenarios.
17 months people - let's make them count!

Daily Reminder: Business-as-usual is looking evermore terrifying.

I see this and wonder in despairing disbelief: how can anyone see this and not act?

These fires are THE SIZE OF A COUNTRY.

We have experienced these extremes as heatwaves firsthand in the U.K.

Please, wake up.

We have <18 months to mitigate runaway catastrophic climate change..and there is more effort, emphasis and time going into awards than climate action.

I propose we shelf all architectural awards - with no exception - until after we bring construction down to below carbon zero.

2050 Climate Group's Young Leaders Development Programme is open for the next round. 2050 are keen to get more people from the construction and housing sectors involved in the programme. @ScottwbMcAulay @AnthropoceneAr1 can you spread the word? https://t.co/iGvGJjvr8M

This is a sad & depressing day for conservation & a dark day for all of UK shooting. The despicably cruel and brazen slaughter of this Hen Harrier on a Scottish grouse moor absolutely must herald some real action https://t.co/QBRysctJ9v more here https://t.co/PwIGAhl9hu Please RT

One of the main reasons why we get flooded with climate science denial and why greenhouse gas emissions keep rising: Oil And Gas Giants Spend Millions Lobbying To Block Climate Change Policies. A billion $ every five years from these five companies alone! https://t.co/0MfKFCLm4h

Could not have summed this up better!

“Deeds not words” as I have heard it so eloquently put before - let’s see ambition, and let’s see collective action.

This is huge. Jacinda Ardern's New Zealand is about to become the first major country to abandon growth as political priority in favour of well-being. #postgrowth https://t.co/J5mAuACLFN

One of the cabinet ministers currently agitating for a No Deal Brexit is @andrealeadsom. Like most of them, she's adopted an absolutist position to further her political ambitions. And she doesn't even believe in it.

“I am thirteen years old and I just want to ask: how are we going to survive when the only thing you have left to eat is your money?”

Our children have a better economic analysis than so many of the ruling class. They are rising up and demanding climate justice.

Listen to them.

This is inspiring - and embarrassing, kids shouldn’t have to beg for intergenerational justice https://t.co/A9coV1NcI4
