Always amazed by how much life on Earth depends on underground fungi – 80% of all plants! From food crops to forests.

On #UnderEarthDay, we've got to do better at getting fungi into conservation plans, climate action & biodiversity loss strategies. 🍄

Great take on #EarthDay @spun.earth!

Great new film by @right-here.org features community leaders taking a temperature check on the worrying spike in polarisation and division in our country. Their message is clear: give communities the power to fix 'broken Britain'.

Leah Chikamba-Mulando and Sacha Bedding hold up a giant-sized version of the open letter outside of Number 10 Downing Street.

Today, over 350 community leaders delivered a stark warning: our democracy is in crisis.

Ahead of the anniversary of last year’s riots, we handed in an open letter to No.10 warning that without action to address widespread feelings of disempowerment, we could see more social unrest.

Christiana Figueres' tip for thinking about systems: Have a spider web in your head when looking at a system to understand which threads are being pulled and remember that it’s constantly a dynamic. We can't control a system, we can only influence & understand the interconnections. 🕸️
