I've had discussions with a few (including local authorites) on ways they might capitalise to re-invest in bigger better GI. We arent so great at planning how to capture uplift for the many yet, I only know of one overt example. It would be very interesting to know of more.

Supporting the #ClimateStrike in my own way today by creating Scotland's sea level rise tartan! PSMSL and Met Office annual temp data from Lerwick, Kinlochbervie, Wick and Stornoway from 1992-2015, visualised using the Ed Hawkins climate stripes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌍#ShowYourStripes #SLRtartan

Doctors in Scotland are prescribing spending time in nature, because it's so good for our physical and mental health and wellbeing! 🐝🌳

Whilst I totally agree that #parks should be made #statutory I’m unhappy they are being used to score political points. Why don’t all the parties just agree parks are amazing, the help with health, wealth and climate change and agree to fund them properly again

“Stealing Our Cities” The aim of this project was to look creatively at the role of transport in climate change by assessing how much space is dedicated to private vehicles in comparison to other modes of transport in Scottish cities. scotlandfutureforum.org/research-repor…

Over 500,000 meals cooked since Lockdown..over 50% of our food purchased from local suppliers like Corrie Mains Eggs ..addressing food insecurity and growing the local economy #CommunityWealthBuilding East Ayrshire

In February I met with Jackson Carlaw and Scottish Conservatives MSPs to urge them to do something about Priti Patel MP #immigration proposals. I ask again please do something to protect #socialcare in Scotland. We need to be on Shortage Occupation List. Closing the door in Jan risks lives.
