By definition any event that requires unanimous approval will never yield the results desired. Desiring an outcome beyond what the mechanism can provide isn't hope, it's delusion.

⚠️ When “technology will save us” becomes a climate risk!
A new paper from great colleagues takes a careful look at techno-optimism — the belief that technology will largely solve climate change — and what it means for real-world climate action.

I had a #GreenJob, I worked at the RHS Wisley as part of their education team whilst I did my PhD research into trying to find an alternative to peat use in the horticultural sector. I visited growers of potted herbs too and saw inside industrial greenhouses. So many different routes!

Green Careers Week
From Biology Field Trip to a Green Career When I was at school, my original plan was to study Accountancy. It seemed sensible and a financially secure career path. Then came my A-level Biology field trip. It was one of those rare weeks of blistering sunshine on the coast of Wales, and I loved every minute of it. Being outdoors, surrounded by nature, collecting data with the sea breeze in my hair (I had more hair back then) — I was completely in my element.
