Sure, some men are jerks. Like the ‘influencer’ who carried a bath to the top of Snowdon for a selfie and dumped it there. But other men are heroes, like the teenage rugby team who carried it down. Well done lads. We see you. Show your sons. www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/...

🚨 Congress could soon weaken the protections that help keep us safe from toxic chemicals. Reports indicate the Senate could begin advancing legislation to weaken our nation’s chemical law known as #TSCA as soon as this month. Tell Congress: Protect TSCA. Protect our health.
Here’s a theory of change I hear every day: More disasters will catalyse climate action. Here’s what it completely misses: If we don’t know what to do and don’t think we can make a difference, it won’t. That’s why talking solutions is so critical. We won’t act without them. More ⬇️

Governments could be educating everyone on food insecurity. In the UK we waste 40% of food & rely on imports.

Today I signed an Executive Order for every worker exposed to extreme heat on the job. It requires multilingual heat safety guidance for workers, a review of construction site heat safety practices, and heat illness prevention plans at every mayoral agency.
I wrote this 7 years ago In it I called for cities to better embrace greenery, reflective coatings, water and shading to tackle urban heat. More relevant than ever…. www.theguardian.com/cities/2018/...
