How come #architecture Twitter hasn't been alive with discussion of @ysaheb's enormously important summing up of the current state of play in our sector? It's set out v clearly in @dezeen, and it's vital, urgent and painful reading. #ClimateEmergency dezeen.com/2022/04/06/ipcc-c…

Efforts to halt catastrophic climate change are being held back by "inertia" in the built environment sector, according to IPCC report author Yamina Saheb.

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-do… Why is the BBC helping perpetuate this Bee confusion. Honey Bees are not threatened, they are livestock. They also compete with the actually threatened wild bees and other insects, further adding to their plight. Come on @BBCNews stop spreading fake news.

Bee fostering scheme launches in Dorset and Hampshire

The project is offering hives and bee colonies to anyone with a suitable garden or balcony.

Pssst! Solar is now 88% cheaper than thought a decade ago, UK govt says – half its estimated cost of new gas power Just running a gas plant in Feb 2022 is costing around FOUR times as much as we'd pay for new solar or wind Thread with charts + FAQ 1/ carbonbrief.org/analysis-cut…

The Government have gone against their own advisors and approved the use of bee-killing pesticides in England. This decision is catastrophic for our pollinators and will ultimately lead to the harm of wildlife ❌ 🐝 🚩 wildlifetrusts.org/news/gove…

Government puts bees at risk | The Wildlife Trusts

The Government has again put bees at risk by permitting the use of the banned pesticide thiamethoxam on sugar beet in England in 2022.

A real success story of ecoping.earth/ so far is the story of @dezeen and @dencreativeltd who helped take per page view emissions from 23.19 grams of CO2e to 2.18g. 💪
A 5-month view of Dezeen's website carbon emissions since July showing a huge improvement. Now down to 2.18 grams of CO2 with every page view, down from 23.19 grams.
