Happy International Women’s Day! Celebrating all the world’s wonderful women plus women-to-be & featuring my darling Malibob gamely sporting her last-minute World Book Day Alice look #multitask

Happy happy birthday to the dearest darling Malibob. Light of my life. 10 TODAY!!! That’s been quite a decade! Here’s to the next chapter of adventures…

Good for you. I do this all the time (much to my asthmatic 9 yr old daughter’s deep embarrassment). Mostly people are apologetic about being so thoughtless when I talk about kids’ health & switch off. Mostly… Mentioning climate is a non-starter 🙄

What do we need? #sustainable places! When do we need them? Now! Our ⁦Human Nature⁩ #Phoenix project - a proposal for the UK’s most #sustainable neighbourhood in #Lewes , #Sussex - goes to #planning committee today #regeneration linkedin.com/posts/joanna-y…

Today I was back to school (as teacher this time!) running a session on #sustainable #marketing ⁦Cambridge Judge⁩. Fascinating talking to participants from brands & industries all over the world sharing challenges & ideas, & hopefully sparking some new innovations…

Gotta find some fun in irony right now…

Science is very clear. It’s not net zero in 2050 that must be the headline goal, but cutting emissions before then, including 50% cut by 2030. Delaying action deepens peril for our children & grandchildren. Think Libya, Greece, mass migration & all the rest, & on a massive scale.

“The government remains completely committed to its net zero commitments” & commits to doing absolutely nothing that gives us any hope of addressing the #climate crisis, creating #green jobs, protecting our health, wellbeing & resilience. Wow, theguardian.com/environment/20…

After visiting her #Malmö schools, school friends, favourite parks, cafes, beaches, sauna etc etc the Malibob convened a family meeting to lobby for a return to #Sweden . Hard to argue with her logic…!

After fleeing to uk covid lockdown >3 years ago it was such a joy to revisit our adopted Swedish hometown of Malmö - full of special places, people & memories #civilisationtopup

Life doesn’t get much better than hiking through a Swedish forest

Enjoying Copenhagen’s many miles of streets designed for walking, cycling & wheeling, the UK’s current vitriol against low traffic neighbourhoods feels happily distant. And batshit crazy! #qualityoflife #climateaction #activetravel

By total coincidence yesterday we managed to join the opening ceremony of ⁦IKEA⁩’s newest store during our visit to #Copenhagen . Wonderful to see some of the concepts I worked on in the early stages (roof gardens etc) brought to life at last!

The Danes know how to do breakfast #cyclefuel #copenhagen #happyplace

Railside #energy action: while the UK bickers about whether or not to bother with the 21st century Germany & Denmark get on with #green power (pics taken from the train) #climateaction #whatsnottolike

Rail trip day 2: platform action in Cologne and Hamburg (stocking up with Fritz Cola for pizazz)

First leg of our rail trip to Sweden: stopover in Cologne (with suitable scale beers for the Husbinator)

Lights, rails, action! After an early start we’re up to speed working the European tracks: en route to Sweden, first stop Cologne…
