Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

How Wales is building a sharing economy through its 'libraries of things'
Wales has 28 'libraries of things' dotted across the country. These facilities allow community members to borrow rather than buy.

“Working less is the most underrated climate solution”. We often talk about system change, but shy away from the systems that shape our daily lives. A shorter working week could reduce emissions, improve lives, and shift values away from consumption. 🌍
Longer working hours have been linked to higher emissions, yet the climate movement seems reluctant to join the campaign for a four-day week—a potential strategic error given the social, health and climate benefits of working less.
My latest for Sower ⬇️🧪.

Fewer work hours can lower emissions. So why isn’t the climate movement fighting for our collective right to relax?
