This is very good from @alexcobham “The UK employs more than three times as many people to combat ‘benefit fraud’ as it does tax fraud, resulting in 23 times as many criminal prosecutions. Yet tax fraud costs us nine times as much.” 🤷‍♂️
RT @openDemocracy: OPINION: Paying tax is a social act, a contribution to a better society. The government is jeopardising that.

RT @SustainableTall: Hemp has incredible carbon sequestration properties, and hempcrete blocks are a great alternative to concrete

In five months one hectare of hemp can trap 9 - 15 tonnes of CO2. This company aims to grow 1,000 hectares

@aribertdeckers One of the beauties of agroforestry is that it can be deployed in a myriad of ways and the evidence is that it virtually always increases biodiversity and hence diversity http://www.agforward.eu/

@horton_official What's odd is that there's a growing body of evidence that agro-forestry is a win-win and not an either/or. Plenty of UK farmers who can explain this to the NFU & DEFRA ie more trees on farms can increase farm incomes & deliver the same amount of food production +new wood fibre.

If you want to be part of the problem, and not part of the solution, then this could be the job for you.

We deserve to enjoy our work.

The Circularity Gap Report 2023 reports the global economy is now only 7.2% circular. This stood at 9.1 % in 2018. The global situation is getting worse driven by rising material extraction & use including aggregates for concrete. @CEIBois @TimberDevUK

To prevent severe raw material shortages in the future, the material-first utilization of wood in long-living, resource-efficient engineered wood products and constructions will be key

If we had half a collective brain and a genuine understanding of what it means to be in the midst of a climate crisis then knocking buildings down would be illegal, in most cases. If not, then it's probably game over for life on earth as we know it.
RT @PhinHarper: With half a brain of creativity, and a generous and adventurous refurbishment, this place could be as chic as the unité. Instead Notting Hill Genesis still want to knock it down. Shame on them.

Is the new Google building in London better than what it has replaced, Culross Buildings? My old flat as it happens, which starred in Nuns on the Run.

RT @willjennings80: It's pretty unremarkable. Remind me how it's meant to be groundbreaking, is it just because it's long?
