Ireland is demonstrating big support for #CommunityEnergy projects (£27m funding)

Would love to see similar ambitions for the UK (£5m funding).

How do you feel about climate change – and how can we best talk to one another about global warming? 🗣️ Scientist drkatemarvel.bsky.social studies the physics of the planet using computational models. But climate change is happening in the real world, to us.

Something new! 📍 We have always mapped our member co-ops (currently 35) but now we have gone a step further and added each of their individual solar, wind, hydropower and biomass sites - and the picture is very different. Have a look: energy4all.co.uk/coops-map/

I think any could work with appropriate teacher scaffolding. Some do have swearing.

However, if you want one with young people centred as protagonists, then I'd suggest...

21/ Finally, 'My Extinction' (2023) by Josh Appignanesi, is the funniest of all the films, at least to my British sense of humor

It asks 'What does it take for us to act on the #climate crisis– especially if we’re the kind of person who should already be acting?'

20/ Whereas in 'The Magnitude of All Things' (2020) Jennifer Abbott beautifully explores the parallels between personal and planetary grief and what it can teach us about pursuing a life worth living.

18/ The sixth category is hard to label. I've chosen 'Meaning'.

These last three films are my personal favourites. They somehow synthesise all the themes into a single documentary.

These films focus on the deeper questions of what it means to love and to lose in the era of #ClimateEmergency
