Nature is the Circular Economy. We borrow resources from #Nature for the products & services we require - there is nowhere else to get them. But once we are done with them, these products & materials must be returnable to Nature as healthy nutrients for the circle to continue.

Morning 20 years ago today I was sectioned for the 1st time it was a horrible experience too detailed to put on a social media post. The publicity it received went Worldwide I was front page news for the wrong reason TV crews at my door, helicopter overhead. I'm told that from that day Mental health issues suddenly were not swept under the carpet, & hushed up. The only positive from that day for me is the awareness of Mental Health all over the UK. My main problem there is still lots of talk but far more actions need to be taken & our Government need to put their hand in their pockets & actually address Mental Health issues properly not just talk about it.

I have a confession !
Last season @Heineken asked me and @jillscottjs8 to swap Twitter accounts as part of a social experiment to see if men and women are treated differently online . What happened was unfortunately predictable ! An important reminder that gender bias should have no place in our game . #fresherfootball #Ad

⛔ Globally, #WomenInSport struggle with a massive pay gap, fewer opportunities & sponsorships, less airtime, and unequal playing conditions.
And when they succeed, women often face toxic abuse online and offline.
📣We need the ambition and commitment to address these issues!

The findings in @UNDP's new Gender Social Norms Index illustrate how far we still are from reaching gender equality.

Forests are unsung #ClimateAction heroes. 🌳
Up to 13 billion tonnes of carbon is stored in their trees and soil.
@UNESCO says protecting forests, including those recognized as World Heritage Sites, can benefit the planet & all its people. whc.unesco.org/en/forests
