Pip Wheaton

@ImmyKaur @jenhooke @carrinag Awww! I just saw this. I’m never on this site anymore so missed it. It was so wonderful seeing you. And such a big thank you for joining the session <3 Sending you a big hug from icy Wellington. xx

On the most packed gross expensive depressing train home from London, after a bit of a pants week though, it was a glorious glorious day thanks to @PipWheaton, Sara, @jenhooke and @carrinag amongst many others, been very heads down for a while so good to take a big deep breathe of inspiration.

@Kez___S What a powerful invitation. I don’t suppose it will be recorded or anything shared after? I’d love to learn from this for the other side of the world.

@HVArtMcGrath @ProjectDrawdown The family size one has had the methodology questioned (worth digging into if you have time and interest) but I was also surprised by several of the ones on drawdowns list.

Project Drawdown has identified a list of 20 high-impact climate actions that individuals and households in high-income countries can take that together could reduce up to 25% of future greenhouse gases. Learn more: drawdown.org/news/insights/…

@louaitken My husband was there the night before you! Sounds like you guys got brilliant weather.

A massive 24 hours up to Powell Hut and back. Legs aching, bucket full. Fantastic time with the Seaview Bubble Family.

@StuartBCapstick @cardiffuni @CAST_Centre @TyndallCentre Please get in touch when you’ve got your feet under the desk. Would love to stay in contact!

Some personal news. After 15yrs at @cardiffuni I’m moving on – and out of academia – to a conservation NGO. A huge privilege to work with people here, across @CAST_Centre @TyndallCentre and beyond. I hope to maintain many links as well as hanging in there with activism. 👋💚✊

@ajonoguy @skrybnz Oh! And IPPU.

@ajonoguy @skrybnz Electricity, waste and other energy. (Percentages in the infographic…)

I don't want to start an argument, but here's the stats on NZ emissions from: * 30,000 farmers = 50% * meat and dairy farmers = 43% * 10,000 dairy farmers = 24% * 20,000 meat farmers = 19% * 5,000,000 Kiwis getting around = 17% * NZ domestic flights = 0.8%

Almost all carbon offset projects are junk.

In good and climate-smart communities, infill housing should bring more life to the streets, and most streets should feel like linear parks. But North American planning politics insists on putting lawns where homes should go, and cars where trees should go. Kind of a problem.

Whether it's ‘what about China?’ or the cost of living, climate action is as contested in language as any other way. We’re keen to hear a wide range of people's responses to tricky climate arguments. Pls visit our survey & RT 👇 🙏to the lovely people who've contributed so far!

just saw this in tiktok and it’s definitely the nicest and kindest argument for doing anything politically positive

@matty_prasad But also, way more nuance than a single tweet can do justice to.

@matty_prasad the point I take is that we need to think about housing differently on a few fronts - smaller footprints, reusing materials, retrofitting & repurposing buildings. I mainly see ppl talk about supply/demand; cost & availability. How do we embed the connection of these issues?

We found that, at the achieved rates, these countries would on average take more than 220 years to reduce their emissions by 95%, emitting 27 times their remaining 1.5C fair-shares in the process. There is nothing "green" about this. It is a recipe for disaster.

@H20FrntDsgn @MikeLydon Such a great example!

A thread on how to inspire a city, featuring many of my city heroes! I remember reading your book, @MikeLydon, thinking, "finally, THIS is how we get things started!".

@julesallover Sending love and solidarity. You were good to me when I was starting out on this journey - I’ll never forget it. if there’s anything I can do, just say the word.

@PipWheaton Hopefully things will improve now. It's good to see you there, Pip.

@DjHookie This is awesome! Well fucking done.

@kwekumandela @NZStuff Siyabonga, Kewku. Thanks for raising your voice for this.

@NZStuff my grandfather definitely loved the people of New Zealand and I can say categorically he would not campaign for this today or any other day in the past. 'If Nelson Mandela was alive today, he would be campaigning for ACT', leader says stuff.co.nz/national/polit…
