A rare photograph of the elusive broccoli tree in its natural habitat.
RT @LanesTree: To finish the year, my favourite picture of the year. A fantastic sycamore towers over the lane at Borwick Fold, near Staveley.
Happy New Year to all.

Stoltenberg is correct. Appeasement won’t work with Putin.
RT @Flash_news_ua: ⚡️"It may sound paradoxical, but military support for Ukraine is the fastest way to peace," — said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, — Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports.

The benefits of agroforestry were presented at the recent UN climate change talks in Egypt by Australian sheep farmer Mark Wootton. Significant tree planting has increased meat production not reduced it, plus a new timber income = win-win. @AFPAonline

Good to see agroforestry being positively promoted in the excellent Rooted by @wigsandwords. Rightly mentioned in ‘despatches’ @Farm3Dwithtrees @wakelyns & @hanslope

Have you ever wondered what one tonne of carbon safely removed from the atmosphere and stored looks like?

@RichardHarwood2 This section of The Strand used to be exceptionally busy with traffic, now it’s capable of hosting a 5-a-side game of footie.

Unless there is a danger of structural collapse, and I doubt this is the case, demolition sends the signal that we are simply not serious about tackling climate change.
RT @SustainableTall: Wasteful and illogical
Plans to demolish four Glasgow tower blocks that accomodate 600 homes and replace with only 300 homes.
What’s more demolish and rebuild would entail 46% more carbon emissions than retrofitting the towers

RT @darrenpjones: I recently had a thermal imaging survey done of my house, to help us prioritise our budget on the best things to do to help keep our home warm. Here’s some of what we found: 🧵

RT @PlanItGeo2012: How do you reforest an entire community from scratch? Cedar Rapids, IA had to find an answer after catastrophic winds demolished almost 65% of the city's canopy in 2020.

We know how to build warm houses and yet most new houses built by most builders are not. Given we are in the midst of a climate crisis this state of affairs is frankly criminal.
RT @BenAdamSmith: This is my favourite time of year to be a #Passivhaus owner. The sun is out and it is -2 Celsius outside. Inside, however, the radiators are off… but it’s a steady 20 Celsius.

Even the UK’s new homes are not well insulated.
RT @GreenpeaceUK: SHOCKING FACT: The UK has the LEAST energy efficient houses in Western Europe.
It's almost like we need to insulate Britain...

@CarbonMrktWatch What is @CarbonMrktWatch 's view on the long-term storing of carbon in timber in the built environment? And that the amount of carbon stored is measured & then carbon credits are generated against this stored carbon as per this example: https://www.prweb.com/releases/2022/9/prweb18906508.htm ? Thanks.

Strong case study from Australia showing how counterintuitively you can turn 20% of your farm over to growing timber & wood fibre thereby increasing biodiversity AND at the same time increase food production. Classic agroforestry win-win
