@jonburkeUK It certainly doesn't look 'beautiful'. Some trees would help. Better still some agroforestry. Solar and hens work well. Or sheep?

I wonder how many 'moons' after four pints?

@vandenboomen Indeed! The report applicable in most European countries. Those countries that are already highly forested less so but still useful learning for them here eg the agroforestry proposals.

As the UK's independent Committee on Climate Change has stated: “A future land strategy that delivers the UK’s climate goals whilst balancing other pressures will require fundamental changes to how land is used."

@MichaelGrew6 @GuyOpperman @discovernland @VisitNland @2northumberland @visitneengland @hexhamcourant @DCMS @NlandNP I'm not sure preserving views like this works for the climate. “A future land strategy that delivers the UK’s climate goals whilst balancing other pressures will require fundamental changes to how land is used" says Committee on Climate Change.

Indeed good news. Simply surfacing ‘embodied carbon’ a major step in the right direction including ‘encouraging manufacturers to monitor & disclose the embedded carbon in their products’. Voluntarily first, compulsory with 5 yrs I’d propose. @TimberDevUK @asbp_uk @ArchitectsCAN
RT @SustainableTall: Good news

“The government has said it will consider setting ‘a maximum embodied carbon level for new buildings in the future”

RT @Wood_for_Good: How can chopping down trees for construction be good for the environment? The answer is in the difference between deforestation and modern sustainable forestry.

Interesting read. Similar discussions in the world of wood products which store carbon. Keep the credits to offset our own emissions (&inform our customers) or sell credits on open market? @CEIBois @TimberDevUK
RT @KateAgValuer: Thoughts from Gabe Brown in last week’s @FarmersWeekly on risks in measuring & selling soil carbon. Sell it via the supply chain, not as credits, he says.

RT @Build_in_Wood: If 90% of the new urban population would be housed in newly built urban mid-rise wooden buildings, an additional 100bn tons of CO2 emissions could be saved by 2100. 🌲

RT @DavidGauke: The people who dismissed the risks of Truss's fiscal policy causing a market meltdown were largely the same people who dismissed the economic risks of a No Deal Brexit. Not a coincidence.

Agree with Guy it's a fine view. However is this optimum land use? It maybe. But then maybe not. Land needs to support food & wood production, plus carbon capture & biodiversity +recreation. Whose doing the sums? We have no UK land use strategy. @NEE_CCo @NE_Northumbria @NlandNP
