California’s almond-growing region covers over 1 million acres and is where ~80% of the world’s almonds are produced, valued at more than $10 billion.
The entire industry relies on imported bees for pollination, without which there would be no almonds.

There is no mandate for the radical path being taken by Liz Truss’s government. She is ripping up manifesto promises (no fracking, green Brexit etc.), stripping away protection for our few remaining wildlife-rich places, ... 1/5

The UK government's ruthless and reckless policies that "go for growth” require us all to ask the essential questions that Donella Meadows - mother of systems thinking - set out decades ago. So join me in answering these questions... 1/n

Polite request to (mainly male) fellow EV drivers: How about start a conversation assuming we have the same level of knowledge and see how it goes? Rather than assuming I don’t know about charging speeds, Zap-Map, the make of my car etc.
