Sine my horrified rejection of plastics in clothing (a hard journey, littered with failure since it is ubiquitous), I've found that the second-hand cottons etc can be mended. Might not always be easy, but it beats having to say goodbye to a favourite pair of PJs

So, the UK govt is happy to spend £millions planning for a disaster that it could help prevent or mitigate. #degrowth seriously. Less GDP, more thinking outside the economy box

The failure to change course has to do with power and its misuse, with ideas, supremacies, with disconnection from life and living systems, with trauma, and with incentives that are shaped from those wounds and misunderstandings.

Toby Perkins, MP, Chair of the Environmental Audit Committee, was on Radio 4 last night to discuss our findings about PFAS in people's blood in Lancashire. Here, he outlines the sort of PFAS regs he'd like to see in the UK - somewhat akin to the proposed ban on non-essential PFAS use in the EU 👇🏾

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

This process also well described by Sellafield which recently applied for a licence to extract water from a hole they were digging next to the UK's most contaminated building, and then, during a judicial review process, announced they no longer needed the licence as they'd already done the job!

And across all of it, I kept seeing the opposition and even those in the middle presenting the same false choice to the public: You can have a healthy environment, or you can have a healthy economy. Pick one. I watched that framing do enormous damage. And I watched it get used deliberately. 6/10

So, AI writing has another tell. It's the use of the words 'lands' or 'landed' in the context of learning something new, or realising something. E.g. The final call is still yours. But "let's try this" lands differently than "no," even when the answer is pretty close.

Ponsonby Tarn, tested around 1986, revealed accumulative radionuclides, a large proportion of which, surprisingly, not of Chernobyl origin.

Such a dramatic event warrants curiosity, but pollution events are frequently undramatic. The drip-drip-drip of poison often accumulates first in water, which is then distributed throughout the ground, deep below at first, but not forever. Much is made of iodine-131 ...
