That’s me standing at the centre of a DIY polytunnel build on an allotment kitchen garden, with a heavy timber frame and blue MDPE pipe hoops forming the structure.

We’re building a heavy-duty polytunnel from scratch on the allotment kitchen garden. The aim is simple: year-round organic produce and fewer reasons to rely on supermarkets. Cutting out the middleman starts in the soil. #KitchenGarden

"bitterness first..." love the prose. By the way, how do you set marmalade, pith? I always have issues with mine either too runny or thick.

Air pollution deaths attributable to fossil fuels: observational and modelling study Objectives To estimate all cause and cause specific deaths that are attributable to fossil fuel related air pollution and to assess potential health benefits from policies that replace fossil fuels wi...

Air pollution from burning fossil fuels causes 100,000 to 200,000 avoidable American deaths per year. At the EPA's statistical value of life of $10 million, these deaths cost America $1 to $2 trillion per year, every year. These costs far outweigh the costs of transitioning off of fossil fuels.

It's time to embrace climate conspiracy Trump’s Venezuela oil play exposes what climate reporting has documented for decades—if we’re willing to say it out loud.

Ive said this off-hand on panels and interviews over the last few years sort of as a joke, but after Trump’s invasion of Venezuela I realized I am dead serious

We need to start talking like the chemtrail people

More than four out of every five Americans are concerned about the environment, wildlife, and conservation, a new poll shows.

My hands cupping a generous handful of dark, crumbly soil, rich with organic compost. The soil is a deep brown textured with fragments of decomposed leaves and plant matter. It rests in the palms and fingers, slightly damp, showing structure and life. The background hints at an outdoor kitchen garden allotment, slightly out of focus - raised beds, autumn light, and the suggestion of recent digging. The image captures the care and transformation of the earth through composting and cultivation.

A year ago this soil was spent. I've worked in compost made from seaweed, chicken and cow manure, oak leaves and bracken. Now it’s rich, organic and full of life. It’s taken time, but it’s ready. Looking forward to planting into it next spring. #homestead 🚜🌾👨‍🌾🌿

A map, a myth and a pre-Incan lagoon: the man who brought water back to a drought-ridden town When historian Galo Ramón uncovered a long-forgotten pre-Incan water system in Ecuador, he set about restoring it, and helped transform the landscape and livelihoods

The article focuses on some of the technical aspects including indigenous knowledge, but I'd like to know more about the collaborative governance side.

Fresh from the allotment - organic grown strawberries at their peak. These are heading straight into a batch of strawberry ice cream later. Nothing fancy, just letting the fruit speak for itself. #GardenToTable 🍓🍓🍧

This is why our household cut meat consumption by over half - not just for health or environmental reasons, but because of these conveyor belts of horror. We still eat meat, but only when we know it’s been raised responsibly and with care.

US banks predict climate goals will fail – but air conditioning firms will thrive Reports predict global heating will bring catastrophes and that air conditioning market could grow by 41%

Wall Street’s basically done with the Paris climate goals. Morgan Stanley’s expecting a 3°C world—and sees big money in it. As things heat up, demand for air conditioning is set to boom, with market hitting $331B by 2030. Disaster for most, payday for a few. #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #WallStreet

A nice fluffy bee who has just stepped out of a salon and is feeling good but also very thirsty.

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business. Nature is us.

Say hello to my weekend seeded sourdough loaf! I've experimented with organic Wildfarmed rustic white, Emmer, Einkorn, and Spelt. At 80% hydration, it's packed with love and goodness ❤️—an open crumb and rich, earthy flavour, just like a proper country loaf from natural flours. #BreadSky
