@jeremywilliams.bsky.social
Climate solutions journalist, climate action advisor to schools, author of children's fiction & adult non-fiction - possibly too many hats for a sensible bio🧢 www.earthbound.report
Currently reading: Sink or Swim, by @susannahfisher.bsky.social - very good so far, and a hardback book without a dust cover is a classy object, no?

Tools for today's workshops, using #Lego to explain #climatechange at the North Herts Climate Summit.

Sure, this is similar from Our World in Data and runs to 2023:

The heat pump is in and purring, and we're now an all-electric household.

Yes, hot water tank the size of a fridge, plus extra bits and bobs and pipework. We're in a small terraced house, so we've planned a plant/utility space into an extension.

Heat pump engineers in today, and the gas will be gone by the end of the week.

Proud to see @ashden-org.bsky.social winning NGO of the year at the Edie Awards last night for the Let's Go Zero project. Those of us working on it already know it's exceptional, and word is getting out!

At the opening of Luton's Morton House today. Fantastic to see sustainability at the heart of this iconic retrofit in the town. Solar power, rainwater harvesting, air source heating, refurbishment of old wooden floors and fittings👍

Third school visit of the day is to Downside Primary. On the upside, coffee and brownies were served alongside climate action.

Floor insulation down this weekend, and the pipes for the heat pump. If all goes to plan this will be our last winter burning fossil fuels.

A new entry in my list of favourite environmentally themed novels, this has ambition and depth, without ever losing the childlike simplicity of its premise. Highly entertaining.

The school I'm visiting today has 99 problems but the biomass boiler ain't one.

Finished Barbara Kingsolver's Appalachian epic Demon Copperhead this weekend. Raw, unflinching, beautifully observed and frequently hilarious, the woman is a genius.

Great to join One School One World today at Bedfordshire University, with schools across the region committed to climate action.

A little experiment in facilitation today, using bulk meeples off Ebay and the Climate Emotions Wheel from the Climate Mental Health Network. Definitely going to use this again. www.climatementalhealth.net/wheel

On the Eurostar, starting a holiday read and looking forward to this one from @hughhowey.com

UK carbon emissions have been falling for my entire lifetime. Why does almost no one seem to know? earthbound.report/2024/03/13/h...

Where are all the cheap electric cars? In China, basically.

This has just been installed in China's 'National Marine Ranching Demonstration Zone' on Nanri Island, Fujian. Combined hybrid marine energy platform and aquaculture.

Currently reading: The Politics of Time, by Guy Standing. Excellent, though I wrote my university dissertation on the commodification of time and am predisposed to like this sort of thing.

One of the lessons from International #RepairDay last week is this finding from Restart Project that repair policies are popular. Voters want durable goods and the right to repair. (Hint hint UK Labour) earthbound.report/2023/10/25/r...

Tested out a couple more Lego-based climate education activities yesterday with the teachers at a local school. Nice to see the 'aha' moment land exactly where it's supposed to.

Did you know that Google search trends for the word 'consumerism' reliably peak during retail sales season? Every single year. This pattern is similar to searches for the words 'stress' and 'depression'. Do we need to interrogate the idea of retail therapy?

I am not equipped to say how feasible it might be, but I love the idea: Polish firm Nevomo are working on how to retrofit magnetic levitation to existing railways, paving the way to hyperloop one step at a time. www.nevomo.com/en/
