Like many others I have said farewell to 10k twitter followers to start again. I will share thoughts on all things environmental & social from the perspective of founding three fairly successful social enterprises. I hope this adds richness to what already feels like a warm & receptive community.
Hmm - just how trustworthy is AI? I was lazily using Deepseek to create a new biog of myself only to discover I had died of cancer in 2022 which was certainly news to me, friends and family.

In the face of economic turmoil one way to build resilience is to maximise resource use & redistribute profits to communities. These are the ambitions of my new social venture. You can support by buying our first Wonderfuel product www.treasuregardening.co.uk

I created Sizzle to make it easier for people to take choices that are good for them and the environment. To help gardeners shift from peat to more sustainable alternatives we are seeking to change legislation, improve communications and provide a Wonderfuel new product. mailchi.mp/78caf9d20800...

Failure of Global Plastics Treaty talks are deeply unsurprising, but it does present a fascinating question as to where they go next. Would a 'treaty of the willing' be helpful or is an agreement pretty useless if you have big free riders? www.businessgreen.com/news/4384233...

A ground-breaking report reveals that humanity could share a prosperous & equitable future but the chances are rapidly diminishing due to pressure from a wealthy minority of ultra-consumers. Is anyone brave enough to introduce the radical polices required? www.sizzle.org.uk/our-thoughts...
