✈ Really pleased that Shipley Town Council backed my motion in support of 's investigation into night flights at Leeds Bradford Airport.
More night flying means:
🔊 More noise for residents on flight path - including Shipley
⚠️ More emissions from more flights

We are looking forward to hearing the outcome of the council’s investigation into LBA’s compliance with night flight quotas. #noise #sleep yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/leeds

Van drivers biggest frustrations? Traffic & parking. Using cargo bikes can help with both!

'Even on the coldest day so far, tenants of a pioneering social housing scheme built to Passivhaus standards don't need to turn on their heating. Arctic air has brought a dusting of snow to the Goldsmith Street in Norwich, but inside "it’s like summer".'

A profoundly broken economic system
Quote Tweet
The WHO and World Bank have produced estimates on the number of people worldwide who "do not receive the essential health services they need". The result?
3.8 to 5 billion people, in 2015. That's 52-68% of the world population in that year, denied access to this basic good.

Councils have assiduously cleared roads for cars while pavements remain like skating rinks
My choice is to walk in the road and risk getting run over or walk on pavement and risk a broken bone
Another example of how those of us who limit carbon omissions are totally unsupported

The profit motive should have no place in #healthcare.
"Looking to bolster bottom lines, hospitals sought to wring more work out of fewer employees." With Covid-19, "lean staffing went from financial strength to a glaring weakness"

Politics in the UK has been far from Common Sense for a long time.
So if you want to read how a Green vision of hope can improve politics.
Then consider supporting this @unbounders crowdfunding to help @natalieben's 'Change Everything' gets published.
