It felt like all of us at today's panel (with @dr_smacgregor, Mike Shaver @GreenMatLab & Maria Sharmina) were reading from the same hymn sheet - we need radical/deep infrastructural and systemic transformations ('behaviour change' won't cut it). Plus, and somewhat surprisingly, plenty of cross-party & cross-sector agreement on comprehensive measures to address energy/transport injustices (@CREDS_UK) through integrated, place-based residential energy efficiency & sustainable mobility measures (@EnporProject).
We’re here with @UoMPolicy in the House of Lords as a part of their Thought Leadership Series to look at how we can Scale Up the Green Transition!
We will be hearing from a number of distinguished academics and Parliamentarians. Follow along to hear what they have to say…

Last week Prof #MichaelShaver joined #BBCR4's #InsideScience special on #Recycling!
The episode gives an insight into the UK's recycling habits, as the panel discusses how prepared we are to further our efforts of sustainable waste management.

Good news research 🎉: @UoMMIB researchers (from @GreenGroupMIB ) have identified a new enzyme that is able to degrade PET plastic. They have also developed a scalable platform to engineer this and other enzymes. Read more on the @OfficialUoM website: manchester.ac.uk/discover/ne…
