I've a big piece in The Times (Scotland) today about restaurants with rooms. While I didn't bang on about sustainability (that much) in the text, it's all places independently run and owned by chefs using local produce in their kitchens. I'm proud of this one.

The choice could not be any clearer. Do you push 700,000 people into poverty by cutting lifeline benefits? Or do you get a grip on the extreme wealth being hoarded in this country? This IS a choice, and the Government knows it.

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis
