Trying to get some Energy Institute business done while being sat on by a 3 year old isn't easy but I've managed to arrange a venue (Northumbria University) and a speaker( Derek Luke and Marissa Granath of #Gateshead MBC ) for the next Newcastle event on…lnkd.in/dsCC8ZS

Need to write a paragraph or two on biodiversity and the current rate of extinction.
Googled it.
May need to go and lie down in a darkened room now. 😖

Laudable but I'm not sure how most businesses can be 100% renewable given the limitations on generation due to factors like weather
Companies that source 100% renewable energy are consistently more profitable than those that don’t, according to analysis of 3,500 firms by The Climate Group: buff.ly/2QY65wH via @IEMA_Transform #RenewableEnergy #Environment

Unfortunately it didn't because there was no real understanding or intent

Competition between peers is very powerful. Starts with targets and moves on to actions.

I used to work for a local authority who when she neighboring authority announced a 30% target for emissions reduction mine announced 33% without any idea how and no funds
25 Sep 2018
Ooh, I do like "we'll cut emissions faster than you" political one-upmanship raising the bar, but of course it is what happens in practice that counts > Labour wants green energy to power most UK homes by 2030 theguardian.com/business/201…

I think demand needs to be moderated to remain within the available recycled resource and we do that by removing wastage we don't want to increase the volume in the cycle by adding more fresh raw materials
25 Sep 2018
A #circulareconomy will be driven by demand, not the waste hierarchy.

And new legislation on the way

HAVE WE EVER BEEN IN SUCH AN ENERGY MESS? Oil over $80, talk of $100. Winter contract prices up 50%, levies increasing. Policy stuck pending Brexit and Labour wanting to renationalise. Much to discuss at our October conferences 👉meuc.co.uk/autumn-roadshows/

I see unnecessary usage as a problem. Reducing it is an opportunity. Then you deal with that you can't avoid.
25 Sep 2018
With respect, that’s still seeing ‘waste’ as a problem rather than an opportunity. Nature is very profligate - just watch all those acorns drop - but very sustainable.

I disagree with you Gareth. I believe we must reduce wastage to get the levels to that we can recycle as a first step
25 Sep 2018
Disagree. We can *only* recycle our way out of this mess... linkedin.com/pulse/recycle-d…
