Our friends @TransitionTog have put this participatory webinar together this Thursday 2nd Dec. Asking What should our activism look like post-COP? How has COP changed what we do and how we do it? Essential.

At next week's public meeting Andrew Kirby Architects will be explaining issues with flooding, contamination, air quality as well as helping us to understand the staging work which was just about to commence before the site was sold out from under the community's feet.

Let's change the narrative from food quantity (based on yield) to #foodquality (based on #nutrientdensity), and from #foodsecurity to #nutritionsecurity so that everyone is eating nutritious (nutrient dense) food

”A leaked document showed more than 124,000 items marked as 'destroy' in just a week.”
This is just ONE warehouse.
If you have a system where this possible - and even profitable - that’s a clear sign that something is fundamentally wrong.
Exclusive: Amazon is destroying millions of items of unsold stock in one of its UK warehouses every year, an ITV News investigation has uncovered.
Many of the products - including smart TVs and laptops - are often new and unused.

The story of @atmosfortotnes . If truly affordable housing, appropriate development for local communities, live work spaces and a chance to express yourself in an arts centre resonate w/ you as ways to do brownfield site development, delve deeper here. And support anyway you can.

⏰It's make or break time for community led development. The pandemic has fully exposed that mainstream development very rarely meets people's needs and often actively works in direct opposition. I have first hand experience of this as a Director of @AtmosTotnes A thread 👇
