RT @DanielHewittITV: It’s hard to overstate how scared people are right now. Filming in North Tyneside today, the first 2 people I met - a shopkeeper of 30 years who said he may have to close, and a working 60 year old who can’t pay her energy bill - burst into tears when I asked how they’re coping.

@marju_silander @omakotiliitto @Hirsikoti @Sahateollisuus @RASI_yhdistys @PTTryfi This is a 2014 evaluation but little has changed since. Virtually all insulation materials used in Europe are manufactured directly or indirectly from fossil fuels. So while they do a green job they are not green materials. A shift to wood fibre is needed.

Building more with wood leads to multiple wins including storing more carbon safely & substituting for carbon emitting concrete & steel. Plus it’s a healthy sustainable material ⁦@Sahateollisuus⁩ ⁦@ForestIndustry⁩ ⁦@CEIBois⁩ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62798950

Upsetting and despite everything we are not a poor country so no justification for this.
RT @FelicityHannah: ‘A child was “pretending to eat out of an empty lunchbox” because they did not qualify for free school meals and did not want their friends to know there was no food at home.’

RT @andyheald: To tackle the climate crisis, we will need a lot more timber & fibre.
That will mainly come from plantation forestry. 🌲
To tackle the nature crises, we need a lot more natural woodland. 🌳

It isn’t a choice between the two. 🤷🏽‍♀️

RT @woodawards: The Wood Awards 2022 shortlist exhibition is open! Head down to the @OxoTowerWharf to see the full 32 #woodawards 2022 shortlist.

We are delighted to be a part of #materialmatters and the London Design Festival @L_D_F. Come explore the projects & say hi!

Building more with wood, thereby replacing CO2 generating concrete & steel, is key to decarbonising the built environment.
But, are there enough trees?
'Yes', says the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research see: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-32244-w

@JohnWad84222151 @bleating_lamb @1GarethWynJones @GeorgeMonbiot There's the built environment as well (houses, offices, factories, roads) & peatland & land where the focus is biodiversity & recreation. Some of these can overlap.

@everydayacoust1 @SteicoUK @europanels_EPF @asbp_uk @CEIBois @ArchitectsCAN Which is exactly the problem with LCAs as they are. The fact that the concrete industry is relaxed about LCAs tells you there is a problem with them. Hence talk of needing 'Whole Life Cycle Assessments'.

@everydayacoust1 @SteicoUK @europanels_EPF @asbp_uk @CEIBois @ArchitectsCAN Agree 'cradle to grave' but don't discount stored carbon simply because 'hard to measure'.

Much talk, rightly, about better insulation BUT "Using insulation with particularly high material emissions may eliminate all potential GHG emissions savings from reduced operational efficiency."

@bleating_lamb @1GarethWynJones The common ground in Regenesis is @GeorgeMonbiot 's view that 'land use' is maybe the most important issue. The debatable part is how we use the land. Hence the UK needs a land use strategy & to date we don't have.

RT @GeorgeMonbiot: Putin's speech shows he lives in a hall of mirrors. Russia is not being attacked. Its attack on another nation has, to a remarkable extent, been repulsed. The attackers he has threatened to destroy with nuclear weapons live in his imagination. It's a very dangerous situation.

@everydayacoust1 @SteicoUK @europanels_EPF @asbp_uk @CEIBois @ArchitectsCAN In addition only the wood fibre board can store carbon.

Cement is such a problematic material re carbon emissions that one of the world’s biggest producers has dropped the word ‘cement’ from its name! @WaughThistleton @dRMMArchitects @ArchitectsCAN @TimberDevUK
RT @hd_materials: We’re still celebrating our historic milestone: HeidelbergCement is now Heidelberg Materials. We’ve been in business for 150 years. And you don’t thrive like that by standing still.

@AJPendleton @johnharris1969 Great word ‘hitherto’. We should all use it more often, hitherto I’ve not used it enough.
