Re @JoeWStanley Agree Joe. Still don’t understand why the Red Tractor Mark isn’t developed to include a fair price paid to the farmer - akin to the Fairtrade Mark re farmers in the global south. The farming unions could ask Red Tractor to explore this option.

Re @JoeWStanley @DavidShukman @BBCPM @EvanHD Farming is actually in a rather unique position with individual farms having the capacity to offset fairly substantial emissions within the same farm. The 10% trees on all farms would take most farms a considerable way to making the farm carbon neutral. And boost biodiversity.

A good climate breakdown question:

Seb Laan Lomas: If 1) insurance industry accepts current insurance models don't work in a climate beyond 1.5oC and 2) conventional building materials have been demonstrated to contribute more to global warming, 3) when will it become harder to insure these buildings, instead of safe timber ones?

Ok. We need more homes.
Ok. We need more dense housing.
Ok. But what’s the carbon footprint? How much embodied carbon is in this build?
Given we are in the midst of a climate crisis this has ‘disaster’ written all over it. Unless of course it’s made of mass timber. But it isn’t.

There’s more carbon stored in the peatland of northern England than in the forests of the U.K., France &amp; Germany combined. Please don’t mess with the peat.

Re @SustainableTall A push back. Maybe 'material efficiency' in the case of timber as it stores carbon. We do want to increase the amount of timber in the built environment. This does mean using more wood but the efficiency argument pushes us to make the most homes with the least amount of wood.
