Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

I’ve just heard Gabriella Smith’s sonically astounding Breathing Forests, an eco-musical evocation of the precarity & resilience of contemporary forests. Incredible! UK residents can listen again. Rest of the world isn’t so lucky. I wonder if there’s a recording…. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE has a COVER👀 (this is a late C16 embroidered coif - never in fact assembled - in the V&A. All the crazy scale with added big cats, like an acid trip As You Like It. I love that it is a bit stained and messy.) global.oup.com/academic/pro...

The cover of a book. Text reads Textile Shakespeare. The lower part of the image is embroidery, black on white, with flowers, fruit, insects, and animals. it is discoloured with age.
