🇵🇱 Krakow has been named the cleanest city in the world, surpassing Sharjah in the UAE and Singapore. It is worth noting that Warsaw ranked fourth. The authors of the report emphasize that cleanliness is deeply rooted in Polish culture. Read more: tiny.pl/0g046pbzz












For @GuardianBooks, I argue that Britain's legal protections for nature are expensive, ineffective, and prevent us from building the infrastructure we need to tackle climate change. "Why do our environmental laws end up creating these bizarre situations? The problem is their inflexibility. They are designed to prevent specific harms caused by specific developments. This approach only makes sense if building is one of the main drivers of nature loss. But it isn’t, for a simple reason: we don’t, and almost certainly never will, do enough of it. Less than 6% of Britain is built on. If Labour succeeds in building 1.5m homes, the total amount of built-up land would only increase by a few hundredths of a percent. Even if you tripled the rate, it would take decades before even a tenth of Britain was built on. Far more of it, nearly two thirds, is dedicated to agriculture." theguardian.com/books/2026/mar…
