@michael_havard Why would I mean that? If you cut down rainforest to grow palm oil it's irrelevant who it's for.

Sounds like good news for those on UC, but child care costs have actually risen exponentially and few can afford to pay the actual price and still take home any pay.
And where are we to get the childcare workers from?

Solidarity with the train drivers even though they're making my journey today a bit complicated (but that's the point of a protest). #ASLEF #solidarity

Glad to hear the BBC stating clearly that palm oil is a huge driver of carbon emissions. What are companies doing to get rid of the ubiquitous and ruinous use of palm oil?

What are they trying to hide? Oh yes, their lying corrupt disregard for the rule of law, maybe?

@northernmnkey @CoopieBastards @SimonPartridge @BarryHi42702795 @chrisgreybrexit @john4brexit @joycemcm @alastairmci The blow to productivity isn't from wfh or the 4day week. Both have been shown to increase productivity & reduce sick leave. Productivity is down because 1 in 10 have long covid, and in addition millions are awaiting treatment on the NHS, and thousands of EU citizens went home.

@CoopieBastards @SimonPartridge @northernmnkey @BarryHi42702795 @chrisgreybrexit @john4brexit @joycemcm @alastairmci The four day week reduces travel costs and time and reduces the days lost to sickness. Also reduces emissions. The idea that less is worse is a nonsense.

@CoopieBastards @SimonPartridge @northernmnkey @BarryHi42702795 @chrisgreybrexit @john4brexit @joycemcm @alastairmci It's often better. People have been healthier and less exhausted without the commuting, and better able to solve childcare concerns. Less stress etc. Even if we have to work in offices, placing of the workplace near the home and vice versa enables walking or cycling (=happiness).

@SimonPartridge @northernmnkey @BarryHi42702795 @chrisgreybrexit @john4brexit @joycemcm @alastairmci We don't have decades, and phasing out is what the fossil fuel lobby want you to say. We need to rapidly find ways to make life *better* not worse without carbon emissions. And it *will* be better in many ways (economically too) but not if we don't make it easy and preferable.
