@SteveCJjones @pgreenfielduk We need both. Only ‘plantation’ forestry can deliver in time the timber we need to decarbonise the built environment ie replace concrete.

And in the interests of transparency just how big was the carbon footprint of this building?
If you don’t know that’s shameful.
If you do, then tell us and they too will be shameful when we are facing a climate crisis.

@sandyofipswich @FOE_Ipswich They need to realise it's an investment in the future not a cost in the present ie it's like taking out a mortgage on a house, spend now to create a future asset.

RT @OxfordDiplomat: All eyes need to be on Brazil right now. Democracy is completely under attack. Bolsonaro supporters are invading Congress, the presidential
palace, and realms of power in Brazil.
Unbelievable scenes.

As a rough guide to decarbonising the built environment then "designed to use as much timber and as little concrete as possible" is a good place to start.
RT @canadawoodgroup: Architecture studio Mitsubishi Jisho Design has completed an 11-storey hybrid timber hotel in Sapporo, Japan, that was designed to use as much timber and as little concrete as possible.

RT @andyheald: @thecockburn More concrete, steel and embodied carbon from a company whose carbon neutrality commitments are twenty years later than the City’s.

When will @Edinburgh_CC Planning department start taking climate change seriously ?

This thread from George Monbiot is spot on. It’s criminal we continue to knowingly build new homes that leak heat like sieves & hence are hugely expensive to heat & contribute significantly to climate breakdown.
RT @GeorgeMonbiot: The happy news is that we are now living in a rented passive house. It's amazing. There is one small electric wall heater and two heated towel rails, but we've seldom felt the need to use them. Our body heat alone keeps the house warm mo…

@ForestandPaper Insulation. And at the same time it will safely store carbon out of the atmosphere.

@tveitdal @BusinessGreen I'd agree we will need a lot of steel to meet our clean energy targets but I wonder how many of these projects could swop steel for timber? Clearly not all but 10%, 20%? @CEIBois

Question: Ever wondered what carbon stored safely in the built environment for 1,000 years might look like?
Answer: St Andrew’s Church in Greensted, Essex, England.
P.S. You are looking at how we deliver 20%+ of the answer to climate breakdown https://bit.ly/3X6ugdl @CEIBois

For some 2023 perspective find 20 mins to listen to Prof Schellnhuber explaining how we stand at the dawn of the biomaterial age & how decarbonising construction via the use of sustainably produced timber is key to preventing climate breakdown. @CEIBois

@Danford2013 @northumbriana Gibson was once one of the country's most famous poets yet he is now almost forgotten. When Robert Frost first visited England he specifically sought out Gibson whose poetry, particularly with regards working people, he sought to emulate. Frost, unlike Gibson, remains famous.

RT @NicholasTyrone: Some Brexiters have got in touch to tell me I’m making stuff up when I say that Vote Leave campaigned on the idea that Brexit would mean shorter wait times for medical treatment. So, here is the evidence:

@simian_warthog I disagree, it's about consumption, not population size. You could half the population of the world but if they all then had the lifestyles & consumption levels of the average European or north American then we'd be in an even worse situation.
