This might be the most uplifting thing I've read this week. It's a very approachable way of thinking about applying principles to your life.

While I subscribe to the idea that 'perfectionism is the enemy of good' when it comes to ethical choices surrounding climate action, sometimes the indecision of 'am I going to get this right?' is enough to do nothing at all.

It's a good reflection on centres (Like the €1 Mediterranean homes or the Japanese ) that result from urban migration and the narrative of 'a better life' that could be places for renewal, new modes of organising and slowing down that could be open to all.

When we discuss "akiya" (vacant properties) it's usually detached houses, but most are apartments, actually. bit.ly/3IljHiJ
