Was fascinating to hear Lewis Hamilton talking about the need to transform #F1 to be more #sustainable . Reminded me of that other sporting great Ellen MacArthur who has also done amazing things to drive #Sustainability . Have you guys talked?
Loving this. One of the many ways we can #BuildBackBetter Environment Agency goal to get to #NetZero include #ActiveTravel for our brilliant people.
Very pleased to have had the chance to chair the Environment Agency #EAcarbonexpo today. Great #netzero questions from the very practical to the tackling #climateinjustice . Collaboration with our supply chain delivery partners is key.
As part of our #NetZero goal it is critical we work with our partners to help deliver change. A lovely example here of an Environment AgencySW scheme with Land + Water delivering 75% carbon reduction. csengineermag.com/land-water-in-…

Taking a "break" from #NetZero today I start my week as Strategic Duty Manager for Environment AgencySW. #TeamEA are out getting ready for #StormChristoph checking structures, clearing trash screens and our office teams are all set up virtually ready to respond.
The #TeamEA JTeam! - Joe & Jonathan, our Env Agency NW Pump Operatives doing a fantastic job at one of the Didsbury Flood Storage Reservoir pumping sites. They’ll be on until 10 tonight when the night shift come on so we can pump 24 hours a day.

As part of our Environment Agency #NetZero by 2030 goal we have been working with the The Carbon Literacy Project project to design a bespoke training package for all our staff to help them understand how they can contribute. Really pleased to launch this today.
