Interesting factoid: Electric Vehicles make up 80% of new vehicle sales in #Norway, cf 10% in the UK & less till in the US. It has taken a series of tax breaks and EV drivers & tax impositions on the combustion engine, but they achieved this in just 10 years. #environment

67% of people think #ClimateChange & #biodiversity loss are number 1 global challenges, and that education is key 🔑 to solving them. But to do this, education systems must change! How do you want to #LearnForOurPlanet? 🤔🌍 on.unesco.org/2Q4ZxR

What a wonderful Thought for the Day this morning! Could R4 commission the excellent Angela Tilby to do a longer programme on the idea that in some periods of our life we are active agents and in others passive recipients of events? #ThoughtOfTheDay BBC Radio 4 Today

Either/or. Cricket on #satelliteTV putting lots of money into elite players's pockets + some top-down funding for grass-roots cricket OR #Cricket on #terrestrial and a whole new generation enthused to go out & play the game for themselves. Easy choice for a Village cricketer!
