The eco gender gap: why is saving the planet seen as women’s work?

Isn't it strange that by the time we have learnt the most in our lives, society expects us to stop contributing? "You're never too old to start a business: Why we need to harness senior enterprise" cityam.com/harness-old-age-s… via @CityAM #SDGs

Londoners, if you’re struggling today, remember this: Tomorrow you’ll wake up in a European city, where hundreds of languages are spoken and every race, religion, class, country and culture are represented. London will always be European, and London will always be open.

Scotland’s Orkney Islands produce more clean energy than they need. So they went big into #GreenHydrogen Now they have one of UK's highest densities of EVs and by 2021, world’s first sea-going ferry fueled by hydrogen produced by renewables Watch and fall in love with Orkney!
