My favourite Jane Goodall quotes....so many, so to the point, so wise. How different the world would be if enough people listened to her.

When you cover a field in solar panels, you don’t cover everything. And in a warming world, that leftover shaded space is invaluable, says @billmckibben.bsky.social.

Doughnut Economic Circus 2025 is now on tour - with the Battle for the Biosphere, Nature vs Finance - including having massive fun @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social this past weekend, with none other than Brian Eno playing Finance.
As usual returning from @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social challenged, encouraged and inspired. “Hope in the making” a way to live. @kateraworth.bsky.social and the #DoughnutEconomicsCircus a real highlight starring #BrianEno as Big Finance being taught to beatbox - where else would you see that?

"Representing over a million workers." How much more evidence does the Government need that these issues really matter to people in every walk of life, all over the country? And that climate and nature is about much more than "hugging trees". It's also jobs, it's green growth, it's the future.

Last year, Pakistan installed an incredible 22GW of solar—more than Canada has ever built!
Pakistan initially committed to slash emissions 20% by 2030. But in 2021, it upped that commitment to 50%, as it's a win-win: switching to clean energy addresses poverty too.
