Tory u-turn leaves Afghan refugees without food

A collection of climate stories mostly — As a rule, I tend to leave this Conservative government alone. Its consistent home goals satisfaction enough, in the knowledge that we’ll soon be rid of the talentless, self-serving, nepotistical scumbags. And to be clear, I’m referring to the past and present members of Tory governments over the last decade…

Plant based cactus and pineapple leather

A collection of climate stories mostly — I was recently reminded by my daughter, that an alternative plant-based leather is now being made from cactus. What a positive, climate friendly story. The thought of being able to harvest buttery soft leather from prickly pear or Nopal cactus, if you prefer, in Mexico where it’s indigenous, thriving without…

Roads, blame the Romans

A collection of climate stories mostly — How many miles of roads do you think the Romans built when they had an empire? 55,000 miles of them, which does seem quite a lot. But then at the height of their power in the 2nd century AD, the empire stretched from the Scottish Highlands in the north to…

Climate change and self-sacrifice

A collection of climate stories mostly — Courtesy of Jack Sloop, Unsplash When we first sold our company in 2018, I got asked about our story a bit. The part people pay closest attention to is the secret bit, as they see it, at least. What did we do or know that helped make us successful. My…

UK Covid-19 inquiry — part one

A collection of climate stories mostly — mirror.co.uk Perhaps we’ve all heard enough about Covid-19 to last a lifetime? Jaundiced by the whole affair, my only interest of late was in the battle Baroness Hallett, the Chairperson of the inquiry had, to access Boris Johnson’s WhatsApp messages. The government finally lost its high court challenge to prevent…

We’ve all gone on a summer holiday

A collection of climate stories mostly — Courtesy of the ABRP app The build-up to a holiday is important. The planning and preparation sometimes more fun than the holiday. It reminds me of childhood Christmases and great expectations when the bumper double week edition of the Radio Times magically appeared from Mum’s shopping bag. I’d studiously sit…

Solar power to the people

A collection of climate stories mostly — I’m late, I’m late! For a very important date! No time to say ‘hello, goodbye,’ I’m late, I’m late, I’m late! White Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland. I’m conscious when researching and writing this weekly, that it would get too depressing far too quickly if I only wrote about the on-going…

The ULEZ dilemma

A collection of climate stories mostly — I try to avoid writing about the news, unless I happen to get there first, something I’ve managed once or twice. But the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is on the horns of a dilemma, where some of us get to participate. It’s the first time that a law about…

The Cotswolds is not a museum. Will our climate change it forever?

A collection of climate stories mostly — Courtesy of Sam Williams on Unsplash I was delighted when Andy Parsons, the Chief Executive at Cotswolds National Landscape, recently shared their latest commissioned report — Creating a Pathway to a climate-friendly Cotswolds. My first thought when I’d read the well written, easy to digest study was I wouldn’t want…
