It was an epic 100 hours! I appreciate everything you did and are still doing. I look forward to anything you can share. In the meantime it would be great to have a register of all the BlueSky handles of the speakers involved if thatโ€™s available. I would like to follow them all!

#BBCQT ยฃ400 Billion spending during COVIDโ€ฆ and now itโ€™s mainly the working class and middle class need to pay that backโ€ฆ. What about the uber rich who were the significant beneficiaries of that money?

Turning off the tap not only saves energy but also waterโ€ฆ.

Turn off taps when brushing teeth, lathering up in the shower, etc.

And does anyone take baths anymore?

Still one of my favourite cartoons/ graphics/ comicsโ€ฆ..

Why is everyone so determined to make the world a terrible place?

The byproduct of individualism is neglect of everything that serves the social good. No one being can survive completely in isolation of other beings and nature.

Classic! And funnily enough that song came out in the era when food standard deregulation was probably ramping up. (Just an assumption based on who was in government at the time.)

Yep. Sometimes it doesnโ€™t even meet food safety standards in other countries. Americans should be concerned about that. Whatโ€™s more important: profits or peopleโ€™s health and wellbeing?

Have a thoughtful Sunday, everyone!

Prisons should not be for profit. There is something fundamentally wrong with that model.

To all women out there who have had a โ€œMiss Triggs momentโ€ - & I know that is almost all the women I know - I hear you & hopefully things have improved for all of you. This cartoon in โ€œWomen and Power A Manifestoโ€ was from circa 30 years ago but it most definitely still occurs in meetings. #IWD2025

#Plastic pollution is a key challenge of our times. We continue to find out about new hazards associated with it - including its impact on #ClimateChange. (See link in comments below.) Hopefully people start to actively help to change the tide and help to eliminate scenes like these on this beach.

I would love to hear @garyseconomics.bsky.social & @kateraworth.bsky.social in conversation about the Economy. I have heard them both speak about the challenges of our times with wealth inequality & social & environmental challenges arising from misguided faith in 20c economic theory. #people&planet

FYI: Pupils help to fight food waste at London market
YouTube video by Sky News FYI: Pupils help to fight food waste at London market

Love everything about this project!

Food waste is a top #GHGemissions emitter. In developing countries waste happens in production & elsewhere itโ€™s usually by the consumer. Meanwhile there are so many going without & also young people keen to learn new skills.
