I've found a lot of the 'cli-fi' films and books to be a bit depressing. What if we work things out? Where's the hope? So I wrote an action-adventure story that delved more deeply, beyond the challenge of climate change, into the human psyche magethenovel.com
After 15 years, over and out for me from ex-Twitter. If only the #buytwitter campaign a few years ago had been successful, and the owners of the platform could have been collectively those who use it.

"Almost 100,000 homes in Melbourne – enough to cover the social housing waiting list twice over – are unoccupied, prompting calls for a major tax overhaul to discourage the waste."

The role and value of climate fiction - to explore, perturb, imagine. To ask even deeper questions: what if someone else was doing this to us; if the climate crisis is a 'world of effects'? What if we could feel the future before it arrives? magethenovel.com

Cli-fi does *not* have to be dystopian - and positive stories can have therapeutic benefits for society, as well as those writing them. #iwroteone
'Cli-fi' might not save the world, but writing it could help with your eco-anxiety.

How can we effectively communicate our initiatives to different audiences? In 2011, I adapted a documentary marketing plan and used it for mapping post-growth audience segmentation. Includes suggested workshop format & templates. How could you use it?

Science communication has to start with values, and most of the time it does.
As @scitjc, @heatherbray6 (@uwanews) + @matt_nurse (@ANUmedia) write, fact-bombing by experts doesn’t change hearts and minds – but good science communication can. theconversation.com/fact-bom…

Multisolving: one action, many benefits! Yes! Have done this intuitively since 1993 after joining the ecocity movement in which we advocated and demonstrated how to do this by changing how we design and make cities.
If you do a lot of silo crossing in your work, and do it intuitively but sometimes struggle to convey to partners & funders why patience and trust building are so critical I hope our new article in SSIR might give you theory & practical examples to help make the case.

Indeed! Time for Payment By Outcomes? whiteboxenterprises.com.au/i… 'Imagine the possibilities if the Commonwealth were to hand over to the states and local government the northwards of $3 billion it blows each year on its often useless and sometimes harmful programs.'
Trade unions want the Commonwealth Employment Service brought back, in part because the government manages contracts with private providers poorly.
However, writes David O'Halloran (@MonashUni), it might also manage the service poorly.

Does anyone know of an extant “medicine field” in the UK or elsewhere? Someone told me their family farm used to have one but I can’t remember who. A field with a diversity of plants - sick animals were put in it & self medicated. @jake_fiennes @themarshtit @NFFNUK @realfarming
