Dear Mr. Clegg

I have started a business, selling the contents of your house

I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house

Without this access my company will not be profitable

Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree

Please advise how I should proceed

The paperback of my comedian’s guide to autism is out today! I get about a message a day saying the book helped them understand their husband/wife/child/parent or even that they have recommended the book to their client/teaching establishment!

I’d appreciate any shares! ❤️

Canada just released a housing catalog of pre-designed homes for all 10 provinces, developed by local architecture and engineering teams to align with regional building codes, planning regulations, climate zones, construction methods, and materials.

Every state needs to do this immediately!

Mauna Loa observatory has recorded highest ever carbon dioxide reading: over 430ppm on 7/3. The Climate complacency of our Govts has never seemed less appropriate.

This is Wolverley School sports pavilion.
Each yr the 🌍 pours 1 m3 of concrete for every person on the planet!
That’s 8 bn m3!🤯
So we decarbonise everything!
No concrete, preFABulous strawbale, airtight & triple glazed, all floating on ground screws!
This pavilion is truly light on its feet! 🌱🌾🌳🏗️🏡🌍💚
