A deeply shocking situation. The @DartingtonTrust, which runs the famous #SchumacherCollege, has announced, without notice or consultation, that all courses have been cancelled or postponed. Just as students have arrived from all over the world to study there. 🧵

This is inspirational – at South West, England
Here is the Atmos Totnes scheme that is costed, viable and ready to go. Never mind @Fastglobe's impossible fantasy for the site, this is what #Totnes could have, a national exemplar of a community mobilising to address the housing crisis. #WeMeanBusiness. vimeo.com/837549414?share=co…

Let's go, Ireland! The Irish President, Michael D. Higgins, is - as far as I know - the first Head of State to publicly declare that humanity's overriding goal should be to get into the Doughnut's safe and just space. Who's next?... doughnuteconomics.org/news/1…

A lot of folks acting as if 2020 has just been a string of bewildering bad luck, rather than what it truly is: a concentration of widely and reliably predicted and interconnected disasters that advanced nations of the world could have mitigated or prevented but chose not to.

"Systems thinking is too advanced for undergraduates" an economics professor once told me. I just taught the basics of feedback loops to my 11 y.o. twins and then they drew this. It's time to teach & use the tools we all need for the complex challenges we face now & ahead.

#oncethingsgetbacktonormal is trending. Resilience is sometimes described as how systems 'bounce back' following a shock. But for me it should be about how we 'bounce forward' to something better. The old 'normal' was a car crash, a disaster. We can, and must, do so much better.

I don’t know what is scarier - these figures, or the fact that they are not making the headlines.

Is this the opposite of a win-win-situation... or just the perfect definition of irony? “Heathrow says it is worried climate change will cause problems to third runway”. independent.co.uk/environmen…

On Monday 15 people go on trial in Chelmsford. They face up to life in prison. Their crime? Stopping a mass deportation. Here's my piece for @IndyVoices on why I believe the the CPS should drop the charges & that history will absolve the #Stansted15. independent.co.uk/voices/uk-…
