Our brand new issue features @Kate_de's story on how the team behind this project managed to retrofit a traditional semi-detached home in Cheshire to the passive house standard for just £60k. Inspiring stuff!

We have tempered language because a) we don’t want to scaremonger and b) the word crisis is very powerful and there’s still considerable uncertainty on some issues. What will be the effect in the long term if we use the C Word ? Or if we don’t use it? it feels a very big step
In favour of stronger language. There is good reason to be scared, though not to the point of paralysis.

Hi #ethicalhour community. I'm looking for packaging recommendations please: ideally UK-based supplier, food-grade, free-standing pouches which are eco-friendly/degradable (not plastic!). Capacity of 100g - 250g. No need for printing. Any recommendations gladly received please!

Shame Chessington @CWOA can't cope with the hot weather. Ice cream gone (or bizarre 20 min wait!), toilets with no loo roll or soap AND 'hydration stations' invisible or out of order - forced to buy single-use water for 1st time in months :( Regretting the annual pass purchases.
