“Effective #climate communication is difficult, messy and repetitive. It involves doing the hard work of listening to and understanding the different audiences you are engaging with, and finding the words, images and metaphors that will resonate with them.”

But the biggest humanitarian crisis remains invisible.”

On 5 May, Dutch people everywhere celebrate their country's liberation (by Canadian, British, Polish, Dutch, and American troops) from Nazi occupation.

The Nazi regime was based on #racism, #militarisation, #sexism, #suppression, #leadercult, #murder, and suspension of the #ruleoflaw.

I will be marking #StopFoodWaste Day, 30 April, in #Limerick

The Day is an important reminder that how we produce, use and value our food has a huge impact on the planet. 

At @gapireland we go beyond tackling food waste, and help people reconnect with where our food comes from.

"Tanning, smoking, driving without a seat belt – there are plenty of things we did in the past that we do far less of these days. .... It’s well past time to replace frequent-flyer rewards with a frequent flyer levy."

From the article: “Around a third of those driving less to save money said they had ­’significantly’ reduced their use of the car. The rest reported a slight reduction in car use to combat the impact of rising fuel prices.

"By encouraging us to imagine future fixes to problems we are failing to seriously address in the present, these proposed technologies represent something like the opposite of a solution."
