Delighted to see that #Exeter has been ranked #9 in a list of top 30 greenest towns & cities in the UK (research from @holidu)! Having a high density and variety of accessible parks & #greenspaces across the city is a vital step to achieving our #NetZeroExeter Plan πΌπ³ποΈπ³π·

"If the richest 10% gave 10% of their incomes to charity, what could we do? Well, that would be $4 trillion a year. @JeffDSachs estimates that it would cost $175 billion a year for 2 decades to solve global poverty forever." Beth Barnes #EffectiveAltruism
