@EnergyInstitute @EnergiesprongUK @Ed_Matthew1 @e3g We do however need to be mindful of the materials we use to make homes more energy efficient eg most insulation materials are fossil fuel based. Need a big shift to nature based materials eg wood fibre @WKWales on the case.

RT @Minette_Batters: The question we all want answered @annietrev is what is the role of Parliament in ratifying future FTA agreements? The bypassing of our democracy on the Australian FTA is an utter betrayal to the UK.

RT @StigAbell: In a triumph for diversity, our next Prime Minister will either be someone who studied PPE at Lincoln College, Oxford, or someone who studied PPE at Merton College, Oxford.

Ministers break pledge to give MPs final say on Australia trade deal. When we were in the EU, British MEPs had a final vote on all trade deals. Now we’ve ‘taken back control’ MPs have no vote! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/australia-trade-deal-brexit-truss-b2124302.html

RT @WoollyMaggot: @GeorgeMonbiot @ExtinctionR @Fridays4future @GNDRising @JustStop_Oil So you think the long-term close funding relationship between @Natures_Voice and @CEMEX has not had a decarbonising impact?

Proving that timber can store carbon for a period of time which could equate as ‘permanent’ from the point of view of tackling climate breakdown @SimonKay20 @andyheald @FlyingQuercus @CEIBois
RT @TonyJuniper: @Farmer_Tim The trees that provided the planks in the door perhaps growing during Britain’s Roman period?

RT @AliDriverUK: @PhilipCaseFW @Minette_Batters That’s only because we have a lot more grassland in the UK (40%) than woodland (12%). Woodlands on average store much more carbon per hectare than grassland as Minette knows very well. Here’s the latest evidence for carbon storage by habitat type.

Significant and welcome.
Words are not enough.
RT @friends_earth: ⚡️ BREAKING: We took the government to court and WON!

In a landmark victory, the High Court has ruled that the government’s Net Zero Strategy is unlawful.

Now the government must revise its strategy and lay out a credible plan for meeting emissions targets.

What’s the health & safety view on this approach to keeping cool? And when the sun finally goes down the water can be used to dowse the garden.

As the heat rises & the climate breaks down a reminder that concrete is the cause of 8% of global carbon emissions. It’s without any question a ‘bad material’ & it’s use should be reduced as much as possible @ArchitectsCAN
RT @thisisconcrete: To reach #NetZero, we must consider a holistic approach and avoid dividing the world into binary 'good' or 'bad' building materials.
Great to see this message echoed by @beisgovuk in @JaneMH…

@TheIndieG @forestsandwood @TimberDevUK @CEIBois That’s not what I said. Rather, a commercial forest plus the timber it produces, combined store more carbon. Refer you to the work of Prof Schellnhuber, Potsdam Institute Climate Impact Research re ‘carbon pump’.

Good to have wild bison back in UK but to ‘absorb carbon’ a commercial forest growing timber to build homes will store more carbon (in trees & in homes) than a natural forest alone @forestsandwood @TimberDevUK @CEIBois https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jul/18/wild-bison-return-to-uk-for-first-time-in-thousands-of-years?CMP=share_btn_tw

@FarmingUK We import 80% of our timber & the government is way off target on its not particularly big planting target. Agroforestry part of the answer, reduce meat consumption & optimise all land use. Build upwards, not outwards. @forestsandwood

@D_Blanchflower @UKLabour @RachelReevesMP John Smith’s shadow budget in 1992 (I was a press officer at the event) was subsequently perceived by many (not all) to have been counterproductive.

A member of the European woodworking industries, Austrian firm Hasslacher, now have carbon credits available for sale via http://Puro.Earth in Finland granted against the carbon stored in their Cross Laminated Timber for use in the built environment @CEIBois @Wood_for_Good

@VincentStops Is it not a hybrid? Concrete for the lower third, mass timber for the top two thirds. Tallest mass timber remains with Mjøstårnet, Norway: https://www.moelven.com/mjostarnet/
