Two of the most common misconceptions I hear from people who want to inspire others to fix climate change: 1/ I need to make them care about X in order to care about climate change, and 2/ we need to fix X before we fix climate change. But we don't have time for either of these.

Morrisons, M&S, Waitrose and Ocado have signed up to the Refill Coalition! The aim is to make package-free shopping mainstream in the U.K - which is huge, since supermarkets use an estimated 59bn pieces of single-use plastic packaging every single year!🥳

Despite the turbulent times that we’re living through, this news has brought me a glimmer of hope: representatives from 175 countries have agreed to create the world’s first-ever plastic pollution treaty. This could the most impactful green deal since the 2015 Paris agreement.

I have loved doing the @greenscore podcast. But doing it around running a business has been hard. @The_Fab_Times this is some really good advice (especially the clear boundaries one!) #sidehustle #WorkLifeBalance

Gtr MCR have delayed the Clean Air Zone by 18 months. Apparently our lungs & general health can deal with pollution for a few more yrs! Why declare a #ClimateEmergency? 'Invisible killer': fossil fuels caused 8.7m deaths globally in 2018, research finds theguardian.com/environment/…
