That’s the equivalent of 92M tonnes of textile waste pile up yearly. This wasteful system is harming people and the planet. It's time to rethink fashion and #BeatWastePollution. See how: www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story…

Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.

⚡🇬🇧 Britain needs more than renewable energy. It needs a grid that can actually use it. The new Great British Grid aims to speed up connections and investment in electricity infrastructure, helping get more clean power connected to homes, businesses and industry.

How the new Great British Grid could help households benefit from abundant and cheap renewable power

As Britain builds more renewable energy, it will need to get better at encouraging people to use electricity when it’s plentiful.

Plant-based diets are to the food system what EVs are to transport: An EV converts about 85% of its electricity into motion and, similarly, a plant-based diet also gives approximately 85% of the protein to the eater. Prof. Paul Behrens

Textile production rose 6% in 2025, double the level of 1975. Polyester dominates at just under 60% of output producing 1-2% of global emissions. Only about 12% of textile output came from recycled polyester. Full textile to textile recycling is still a tiny fraction at 0.75% tinyurl.com/4rbczrez

Given that our survival literally depends on us taking better care of our environment, the only possible benefit of this suggestion is that it will ensure that political parties with some understanding of the science will get elected in greater numbers.

Nature doesn’t need us. We need nature. When the last forest falls and the last river is poisoned for profit, no amount of money will buy back the air we breathe, the food we eat, or the medicines that heal us. It’s time to shift from exploitation to stewardship. 🌱 #OnePlanet
