In the summer hols I read the gov't's sustainability and education policy paper 😬! And began thinking about how we'd act on it at school. Here's my article about what we're trying to do and the hurdles we may face. Thanks @DanWorth @TES for publishing. tes.com/magazine/leade…

It's World Migratory Bird Day! Proud to re-share my article from years back about the amazing journey of a spoon billed sandpiper (from remote Russia through HK to Thailand) and the dedicated conservationists who tracked her journey. drive.google.com/file/d/1D1wq6e… #WMDB2022

#WWF 's sustainability guide for schools really highlights the huge opportunity for learning there is when schools take climate change etc on board. With so many impactful suggestions, it's crucial not to feel overwhelmed. Good read, but think baby steps. wwf.org.uk/sites/default/…

Foraging! Back in the UK, this overladen blackberry bush in the always absent neighbour’s garden gave us a bumper crop this afternoon. Back in Thailand, pre pandemic, I wrote this about the Thai foraging scene: coconuts.co/bangkok/food-d… #coconuts

Exciting that UK schools will start having sustainability leads... there's much that can be done but funding's needed @danworth yes it's a tough task, especially getting a voice on leadership teams... but the new role is key to creating the change needed. tes.com/magazine/analy…

Fascinating visit today to this fishing community, less than an hour from BKK. Learnt about the problems fishers face with plastic pollution, discarded nets, illegal fishing, and falling yields. It's what I do when I'm not a teacher! @ejfoundation
