I've just been reading how doing nothing could destroy parts of Kent by 2050. Devastating floods, mass agricultural failure, loss of biodiversity, extreme temperatures (the 2018 heatwave caused an extra 900 deaths), and introduction of new diseases (like malaria), could all contribute to the demise of the Garden of England within just 3 decades.

I was vegetarian already so it was perhaps easier for me to transition than it would be … Continue reading Testing The Theory →

Finally got round to switching to 100% renewable energy. Used a comparison website and selected Pure Planet as the best value and service provider. The switch is in progress so I can't rate it yet except to say that the process so far has been surprisingly easy. Soon I'll have 100% renewable electricity (however much … Continue reading New Found Energy →
