Investing in renewable energy creates three times more jobs than fossil fuels.

The @iea.org estimates that by 2030, 5 million fossil fuel jobs may be lost, but 14 million new jobs in clean energy could emerge, leading to a net gain of 9 million jobs.

Do you run a business in Sussex offering sustainable products or services to other businesses? If so would you like some FREE advertising? (No, seriously there is no catch, Bluesky is a nice place & we wouldn't do that sort of thing anyway!)

I don't often ask people to write to their MPs. But I think they might listen to you on this, as it's so jaw-droppingly awful, and they're almost certainly unaware of it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Please also write to the Environment Secretary: steve.reed.mp@parliament.uk Thanks.
What’s in the millions of tonnes of sludge spread on to UK farmland? Toxic waste – and ministers don’t care | George Monbiot
Water companies let waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. When it is recklessly used as fertiliser, we are all at risk, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

A versatile herb Fennel is a hardy perennial with feathery leaves & yellow flowers. Thrives in sun & well-drained soil. Its anise-flavoured leaves add depth to salads, meat, & fish, while the seeds enhance baking & teas. Harvest young leaves for fresh use & collect ripening seedheads for storage.

Why did we create the Kinder Business Network? Many businesses (especially small ones) turn to business networking to meet people & generate business. Businesses trying to be sustainable have an extra dimension to consider. Next meeting Wed 26 March in Horsham. #supportsustainablebusiness

Rewilding isn’t just about nature – it’s about people, communities, and organisations coming together to create lasting change. It’s about hope, it’s about healing, and it’s about creating a system that works for people and planet.

Happy #ForestDay !
From fruits, nuts & honey to edible insects & mushrooms, forests are nature's supermarkets, offering essential nutrients that sustain millions of people.

This year on 21 March we celebrate #ForestDay with the theme 'Forests and foods'!

I started trying to encourage my interior design clients to make more sustainable choices not long after starting my business, which has now been going 16 years. There has been (& sadly still is) so much waste in the design industry - and it doesn't have to be that way.

“We have seen an absolutely astonishing rise of solar installations in Britain and also globally. That’s because the cost of solar has plummeted. It has become so cheap that some solar panels are now cheaper than roof tiles or fence panels.”
