Great to hear @ChrisGPackham at @RWM_Exhibition today. We’re in quite a pickle. The 2 biggest changes we can all make:
1. Don’t have kids
2. Move your money to ethical banks and funds
He acknowledged it might be too late for some of us on the 1st. But the 2nd? I can do that.
I'm attending @RWM_Exhibition on 13-14 September 2023! Will I see you there? invt.io/1txbkj5xxcv
Hi all, just a note to say that next week I'll be speaking in Brighton at #footprintplus23, the UK Property Event for a #ZeroCarbon Future (6-8 June). I'm there on Thu 8th to discuss how the #CircularEconomy is best quantified. Find out more here invt.io/1exbixl36m9
At the #SCSFormulate conference today, temporarily shocked to learn @TheBodyShopUK does rabbit testing on its products!
It doesn’t; it uses a Restricted And Banned Ingredients Table (RABIT) to check it only uses approved materials. 😆 Phew!
At 13:00GMT tomorrow (Nov 10), I'll be delivering a #free #webinar for the CIA @See_Chem_Bus on the #CircularEconomy in the Chemicals Sector.
It'd be great to have you there, and who knows what you might pick up? Cheers!

In the #SLR #Sheffield office today, I’ve done something for the first time in literally years - opened a #glass #milk bottle.
I reckon my daughters wouldn’t have the first idea how to even do it!
I’m at the @See_Chem_Bus CIA #Sustainability conference today. Great to hear so many speakers extolling life cycle assessment #lca as well as my #SLRConsulting colleague Stewart Lenton leading discussions on natural capital.
Every day’s a learning day, eh?
Just heard @RWM_Exhibition that @WRAP_UK recommends #cucumbers, #bananas and other fruit are NOT packaged or date-labelled; such pkg does NOT noticeably extend life.
I will adjust my purchasing accordingly. wrap.org.uk/media-centre/pre…
From #RWMLRL22 session entitled “is plastic the enemy?”…
Between 2017 and 2019, supermarkets used an extra 17,000t of plastic in bags - mostly, bags for life.
Just a note to say I'll be attending #RWMLRL22 - both days - at the #SLRConsulting / @ESA_tweets stand R-M190/H19, as well as the #gala dinner, and chairing a slot (11:45-12:15 on Wed 14th) at the #circulareconomy & #sustainability theatre. See you there?

In my first #blog for #SLRConsulting, I reflect on the new stuff I've been learning about #naturalcapital, #socialcapital and #water #resilience, and how we can fold these into a more holistic assessment of our clients' impacts on the #environment.

Looking forward to seeing some of you at the @ESA_tweets annual lunch today. As requested, I’ve done an LFT this morning and am all clear - I trust you have done the same??

I’m in #Cologne for the two-day #GreenerManufacturing conference, so was taken out for a meal last night. Here’s one of my hosts, Daniel, with a hand-knitted gift he received depicting annual temperatures in #Frankfurt. Nice!
What is @McDonalds doing to coincide with #COP26Glasgow? To show that they understand we all have to reduce our burdens?
This. #Grotesque. ☹️
I took this photo in August, thinking it might be apposite at some point in the future. Less than two months later, ta dah!
The latest fantastic #job #opportunity in #LCA at @Ricardo_AEA is [drum roll] my position as head of team! I will be starting a new job as Technical Director at #SLR_Consulting (on which more another time), opening a brilliant opportunity for someone...

Just got round to reading this excellent article from @envirobuzz on the lack of #nuance in #environmental messaging. I recommend you read it, too.
