As @CambsCC asks us to reflect on 5 March, we remember those we lost. We also remember their cruelty, calling a for-profit BNG site a “memorial woodland” 24 hours after voting to fell 100s of trees in Coton Orchard & pouring concrete over the ashes of loved ones @MadingleyHill

“As a scientist, I expect any respectable theory to make predictions that are testable against observations. Economic growth theory, on the other hand, offers plenty of predictions—many of which fail spectacularly when tested. According to its logic, after decades of growth, Cambridge should have streets paved with gold by now. Instead, we’ve got potholes that are more plentiful than ever. Meanwhile, biodiversity is in freefall, the water supply is on shaky ground, and climate change is knocking at the door. The theory conveniently overlooks the environmental cost and the depletion of our planet's finite resources. If these were included there would be no case for driving a busway through Coton Orchard. We cannot afford to lose any additional irreplaceable resources.” 𝘑𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘭𝘪𝘯, 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘖𝘻𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘦, 𝘌𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘴 𝘍𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘚𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘈𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺.
