I was fortunate to help make a film for tonight’s @BBCTheOneShow . It started as a film about history/natural history inspired by a remarkable true story in a book by @NicholasMilton , but it’s really a tale of the indomitability of the human spirit . We all cried .

From our archives: Ethicist Peter Singer says that science has eroded the boundaries between humans and other creatures, showing that animals can experience joy and also suffer. Knowing this, he says, we are ethically bound to avoid causing them pain. e360.yale.edu/features/peter…

A mostly experienced team for reforestation at LCK so 102 coastal saplings planted in 75mins by 37 volunteers with joy, gusto and skill. No debris, soft soft and saplings weren’t large. Still, it was beautifully done❤️💪🏽 Join us! More dates: toddycats.wordpress.com/2024-calendar/
