📆 We're super excited to share this gem with you! Join us on Friday 12pm UTC for the talk by Bahar Kumar, Executive Director of @impacthub Kathmandu, teaching the Critical Making mentoring participants about building for continuity – all about sustainability in your business.

At some point we'll have to face the fact that politely asking the ruling class to stop climate destruction is not going to work.

At this point, maybe we should ask women for help. #COP27

Seeing the current case of Twitter confirms my belief: we need more discussions about the models of ownership and profitability of tech, including open source. They are far too important for them to be taken over by just a few.

This is the kind of #MotivationalQuotes I need right now - Higher Ground cafe @ Hirst Wood, Saltaire

📢The Global South Climate Database is live! After months of work, I am SO excited to share this resource! Please use this free, searchable database of climate experts from the global south to help elevate under-represented voices. #GSCD https://t.co/noWEKQKnq1 🧵 1/n

Had to steel myself to check the news from #Brazilelections this morning - I’m SO happy about the outcome 🇧🇷 #Lula #LulaPresidente2022 It’s a win for people and planet #AmazonRainforest

I no longer believe that the set of values, beliefs, power structures, and decision making mechanisms that got the world into this situation, will get us out of it. It’s time for #SystemChange #ClimateAction

We opened a Fixing Factory today! An actual shop on an actual high street! People can bring their broken stuff and get it fixed for free. This will reduce waste, cut carbon, and help with the cost of living crisis in the local community.

We’ve built our world around a system that values corporate profit more than life itself. That’s the problem, & only system change can fix it.

Hearing about the #shebuilds program from @FablabWinam, via @landonbentum of @AfricaOSH at #balifabfest - this global sharing of knowledge on how to create impact is invaluable @FabFndn @fabcityglobal

Great to hear from @landonbentum of @AfricaOSH at #balifabfest on how communities in Africa are shaping action around #openhardware #OpenScience @makeafricaeu @KumasiHive @weareGIG

So that's going to be a new PM, six week after they had an election. Why are Tories allowed to change their minds - but Scotland isn't? 🤔

I've just seen another set of results of another public dialogue on climate. I'm struck by the absolute consistency of findings, across location, type of research & time. In short: People are very worried about climate change and supportive of climate action, in general. 1/6

Leaving Yaoundé full of gratitude for the event that the team ⁦@LabMboa⁩ put on, the people I’ve met, the discussions, the new collaborations kindled, and of course the food! Thank you Cameroon, it has been great. #AfricaOSH2022 ⁦@makeafricaeu⁩ #H2020

Another reason for more renewables: climate resilience

The £130 billion Liz Truss is about to hand energy companies could build enough wind farms to power 10 million houses with free energy for 30 years.
