Good reminders from @johnwenger9.bsky.social about the harms of stoves bit.ly/4h6L1zO 1) A little restraint & 2) adopting new heating systems (Heat Pumps!) will do a world of good for ourselves &, well, our world @irishdocsenv.bsky.social @uccchemistry.bsky.social @maricacassarino.bsky.social
bit.ly
Wood-burning stoves are a serious problem for your health – and the environment
People who use solid fuel stoves as a secondary source of heating could consider stopping its use altogether. That really would be a breath of fresh air.

Thinking of ditching the car and getting on your bike? One Cork worker did just that
A neighbour who was forced from her car commute had a revelation when she cycled instead, says CATHERINE CONLAN, a public health doctor in Cork.

To accompany all those Bluesky science/academia #starterpacks, let's share introductions to the literature of our fields.👍 12 kinds of papers in Climate Psychology. Created by yours truly using this: shorturl.at/krlbC ✔️Re-sharing with higher res & better alt-text✔️ #climatepsychology #greensky
Comic strip showing various types of climate psychology papers with humorous titles and summaries, discussing awareness, emotions, actions, and individual versus collective efforts on climate change.

Headline: Types of Climate Psychology Papers

The 12 paper titles are:

1.	How to stop climate denial and raise awareness
2.	Oh wait, just knowing stuff doesn't lead to action! Dang.      
3.	K, let's look into climate feelings...    
4.	How to make people *care* about climate change
5.	Turns out, caring doesn't make people act either... Hm.     
6.	People who care are suffering, kind of a lot: Calling all psychologists!
7.	New big idea: What *really* matters is action!      
8.	How to get people to do green behaviors            
9.	But, hold on, are individual actions enough?           
10.	Here's a study of a protest and why people went.                      
11.	Activism makes people feel good... and can lead to systemic change
12.	But climate scholars should definitely not be activists

Hello Bluesky! I'm seeking research, evaluation, case studies on heat pumps in social/public housing - with focus on solutions (service/engagement/policy/technical/etc.) to accelerate uptake + improve tenant experience. Is there anything you recommend I look at? Suggestions and shares appreciated!
