From the Guardian: 'Johnson is expected to make a farewell address outside 10 Downing Street at about 9am on Tuesday. It is not known whether he has written two versions of the speech, one based on staying, one based on leaving.'

RT @europanels_EPF: We need to 1) stop GHG emissions 2) protect carbon sinks 3) create new carbon stores. Is there enough wood? Yes, if we reforest degraded areas now. Let's combine intelligence with nature, building beautifully, sustainably and inclusively with #wood and #woodbased materials.

RT @europanels_EPF: Solid wood is 5x lighter than concrete, and timber construction with #woodfibreinsulation makes the whole 10x lighter than concrete. Hi-tech (knowledge and skills) meets nature (organic materials such as #wood and #woodbased panels) to make the miraculous possible...

@lloydalter @ACSAUpdate Climate positive concrete housing is a non sequitur. Primarily because concrete can’t store carbon - unlike wood.

@FlyingQuercus @nielbarn @andyheald We can also grow a great deal of wood fibre on farms and fast ie willow ready in 3 years. Grow it in an agroforestry setting & a series of win-wins are triggered ie increased biodiversity.

@lennyantonelli @MoreOurselves Agree 'unused' a bit problematic but some brownfield sites are 'neither nowt nor summat'. Rather we need to be optimising land use across some key 'uses' eg food, wood, biodiversity, carbon storage & recreation. Ideally they are overlapping hence key role for agroforestry.

@lennyantonelli @MoreOurselves Needs a combination approach, as Potsdam paper sets out. Less land for direct & indirect meat production will help, a key role for agroforestry, surprising amounts of unused & underused land esp. Romania, Bulgaria & France. Several countries nowhere near annual felling increment.
