Part 1. Oh dear. This is revealing. Revealing of what? The lack of general knowledge of #urbanlighting 🥲. The “orange” light is sodium vapor, once upon a time highly sustainable; low wattage and long lasting. the CRI (color rendering) however, is not desireable.. go to 2

@Jerry_Ratcliffe @Leni_Light You should weigh in on this.

We need to (re)-prioritize #culture as foundational in cities & in society to better showcase culture‘s value proposition that it is always at the center of how we want to live together, says @tfconsultancy. #eurocitiesforculture

@Leni_Light That’s a very good question Leni & we have a plan & are now working on funding it. We will be using local artists & designers to create community led & implemented projects. I’m excited about this because community engagement is so important when it comes to sustainability.

I love my work with the @HighStreetsTF I’ve just had another great meeting with @ChesterfieldBC I’ve enjoyed expert mentoring them. Their commitment, progress & enthusiasm over the last year is inspiring. I’m looking forward to supporting them further as they deliver their plans.

@Leni_Light It was hard back then to conceive of a worse president than Nixon. A real failure of imagination.

There’s some amazing stuff in Daniel Ellsberg’s obit. Particularly the part where Ehrlichman attempted to bribe the judge at Ellsberg’s trial, offering him the directorship of the FBI. nytimes.com/2023/06/16/us/…
