From hedgehogs and bats to butterflies and newts, the UK’s wildlife is disappearing fast – and our government is letting it happen. I’ve just signed @friends-earth.bsky.social’s petition calling for urgent action. Add your name: action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/tel...

Don't know your ISO 14001 from your elbow? You're not alone - there are more than 200 eco-labels applied to hotels around the world. I took a closer look at some of the tools available to help planners and delegates make more sustainable choices. mitmagazine.co.uk/Meetings/Sus...

Do people really care about sustainable hotels - or just cheaper ones?
Can better information and easier booking tools make planners and delegates choose sustainable hotels, or will cost always win? Ellie Evans investigates.

Local democracy isn't sexy but as this blog states, "for anyone who cares about wildlife, or about any issue that plays out at a local scale, these elections are important. They’re about choosing people you trust to represent the things that matter to you and to speak up for the places you value." 💚

#Eventprofs, is sustainable accommodation a nice-to-have, or an absolute dealbreaker? I'm writing about this for M&IT magazine and would love your views. We all want to be greener, but have budget concerns made it easier to overlook eco credentials and skip straight to the cost? #JournoRequest

The shift from intentionally reading news to incidentally absorbing it is particularly interesting. And it's a motivation to focus on positive and solutions-focused journalism to uplift people rather than add to their daily woes:

"I don’t like using fossil fuels to boil a kettle." That's why Preston Park residents signed up for a solar power scheme run by @bhesco.bsky.social. It gives them a stable, lower-cost energy supply and protects them from the volatility of wholesale markets. www.theargus.co.uk/news/2592660...

I'm really proud of the work we're doing @pifonline.bsky.social. We are actively working to help people work out whether they can trust what they're reading online, and to promote digital literacy. Why? Because 9 million people are unable to use digital tools without help.

✈️ Debate rages on about the proposed £49bn expansion of Heathrow, with the need for growth pitched against protecting the planet. Is it "badly needed"? And what does it actually mean for the events industry in the UK? I took a look behind the headlines for M&IT: mitmagazine.co.uk/News/Analysi...

Heathrow’s £49bn gamble: is bigger really better for London’s connectivity?
Is London under-served - and does the sector risk missing out without the additional capacity?

#JournoRequest Any #EventProfs want to share a view on whether the proposed expansion of Heathrow would be good for business? Does Britain's connectivity need improving? Or is it not really an issue as we're already a solid transport hub? And should we be encouraging more flights anyway? 🛫 or 🛬
