Extreme weather, longer fire seasons, rising insurance costs. Still think sustainability is a nice-to-have? The cost of inaction is already hitting margins. #ClimateRisk #BusinessResilience

If you work in climate, politics, or just want to understand what global agreements really take, go see Kyoto It’s fierce, funny, and painfully relevant. The kind of storytelling we need more of. Playing Soho Place Theatre, London until 3 May 🎭 #ClimateStorytelling #KyotoPlay #ClimateAction #COP3
Chantal Kerr-Sheppard 🌱🌍@chantalks.bsky.social · last yr.The most moving part? Seeing how nations with vastly different agendas did come to an agreement It’s easy to feel cynical about global climate talks, especially in our current divided era, but this is a powerful reminder that unity is possible when urgency outweighs ego #COPHistory #KyotoPlay

Chantal Kerr-Sheppard 🌱🌍@chantalks.bsky.social · last yr.Kyoto puts you in the room where it happened: 11 hrs past the COP deadline, nations deadlocked, and fossil fuel lobbyists doing all they can to sink a deal. Climate negotiations aren’t dull, they’re messy, human, political. This play nails it. #Sustainability #ClimateDiplomacy #KyotoPlay

Chantal Kerr-Sheppard 🌱🌍@chantalks.bsky.social · last yr.Saw Kyoto at Soho Place Theatre last night: Tense, brilliant & painfully real. It captures the drama, division & surprising unity of the 1997 climate talks. Ultimately, it gave me hope that so many countries can, in fact, agree on a global scale🌍 rsc.org.uk/kyoto #ClimateAction #KyotoPlay

💰 Think sustainability is expensive? 🤔 Watch your margins shrink when climate risks drive up insurance costs Extreme weather = rising premiums & policy exclusions. Companies tied to fossil fuels or resource-heavy industries will pay the price How can businesses stay ahead? 🌍💸 #SustainableFinance
Feel helpless, want an easy thing to do? Switch banks Just FYI 💰 UK’s biggest banks are still fueling the climate crisis. Since the Paris Agreement, Barclays, HSBC, Santander, NatWest & Lloyds have invested $556 billion in fossil fuels- $55 billion in 2023 alone #SustainableFinance #ClimateAction

Scientists are linking the wildfires in LA to climate “whiplash”— the rapid shifts between drought & heavy rain driven by a warming world. While #climatechange isn’t the direct cause, it’s a significant factor making fire weather more extreme & frequent @mattmcgrathbbc.bsky.social bit.ly/4jpsYGH

Peter Griffith@carboncyclist.org · 2y agoI still think my attempt at #climate #scicomm holds up, many years after I created it, but my "call for action" is weak tea given the inaction of the past 15 years. youtu.be/85TQHzS88L4?...
In recognition of us doing fuck all to reduce emissions, let me remind y'all that carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is useless unless we decarbonize drastically. rdcu.be/dbFbB
Carbon dioxide removal is not a current climate solution — we need to change the narrative
Drastically reduce emissions first, or carbon dioxide removal will be next to useless.

Great to see Veganuary having a lasting impact on meat consumption! 🌱 But social pressures, limited comparable meat swaps & perceived inconvenience still make plant-based diets hard to maintain. What do you think would make plant-based eating easier for more people? #Sustainability #PlantBased
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 2y agoThe Veganuary campaign, which encourages a plant-based diet in January, has successfully reduced meat consumption over the long term, with over 80% of participants reducing their intake to half or even more after six months. .
Big tech funding $80M in carbon removal for paper mills & sewage plants—progress or patchwork? Retrofitting older industries is a step forward, but can these solutions scale fast enough to make a real dent in emissions? Systemic change still feels like the missing link. 🌍 #ClimateAction #NetZero
Reuters@reuters.com · 2y agoGoogle, H&M, Stripe and other members of the climate-focused Frontier coalition will buy $80 million of carbon credits from a firm using oil industry technology to capture paper mill emissions and another using rocks to do the same at sewage plants reut.rs/3ZJig4y

All valid points, it's a shame Vinted, Ebay and Depop aren't on here to respond. Right to return should be up there on the list of must-haves - personally, anything I've not received as satisfactory, I've had no problem returning. But you're right about diseases - it hadn't occurred to me!
LLebec@stragglersink.bsky.social · 2y ago
You don't have the same rights - can't return etc - and potential disease risks - clothes can harbour germs and bedbugs😖. Mitigated by buying from a brick & mortar 2nd hand shop but that drives the prices up and those businesses operate with low margins and are therefore few and far between.
We need to think beyond recycling ♻️ Reuse is king! 🙌 ☕ How about shared reusable items in an office? 🎁 Normalise secondhand gifting 👗Throw a clothes swap party once in a while? There must be more creative ways to encourage reuse- I'd love to hear them 🌍 #Sustainability #Reuse #WasteReduction
Looking forward to meeting them all!
