I love this process - and we have used it in the past. Should we again?
Here is a gorgeous video showing the delightful 'Town Anywhere' activity created by @RuthBenTovim and which she and I co-facilitated as part of @ForwardsBristol in August. Time travel with us to 2030: youtu.be/MUQWRjqy6Yo

Scientists warned us in the 1950s.
NASA warned us in 1988.
Al Gore warned us in 2006.
The media and government failed to express the full magnitude of what was coming.
The public looked away.
Now it’s here and the future is no longer what most people think it is.

Before joining the EU, we were known as ‘the dirty man of Europe’
The Tories are taking us back there faster than even I expected
Like so many other government policies, this really stinks

@RishiSunak says UK is a leader in #climateaction #decarbonisation. Committee on Climate Change Lord Deben said, @BBCWorldatOne No longer. US, Europe and !China are acting faster; UK lacks policies.

The Secretary of State for the Environment, @theresecoffey dismisses what I do as "Regularly touts on Twitter".

An excellent article introducing Rights of Nature, with a perspective on what these rights are really about & why we need them despite existing ‘environmental law’; common objections; & what such rights might look like in the real world. Do give it a read lawyersfornature.com/how-to-…
