1/ Last week's #VirtualCoffee for #sustainability people flushed out some stories of how people have been burnt out of their sustainability work. The person who did a Masters in sustainable development and now works in an entirely different field, the COP negotiator who now works in elder care, the political speech writer who retrained as clown.

What do we talk about at the sustainability #virtualcoffee? Chat has included 'about to go on my first climate demo, what should I expect?', seasonality on swapping apps, and what happens when you keep chillies in the freezer. July 27th login details: https://bit.ly/2UeGiDV

At today's #virtualcoffee for #sustainability people https://bit.ly/2UeGiDV, we learnt keeping chillies in the freezer makes them easier to cut, dragonfruit are disappointing, and that it's possible to design a website to be more carbon/energy efficient.

There were also fascinating conversations about the #sharingeconomy, seasonality on swapping apps, and that there's a business which rescues 'dead' plants from offices.

Next virtual coffee is in July - do join us.

It was our 50th virtual coffee hour for sustainability stay-at-homes this morning. Chat included:

* reuse or sharing of items in transient communities like students & ex-pats;

* models people are using to guide their work, including donut economics;

* upsides, downsides & explosive disruption which AI might bring.

Another thread in our discussion was the criminalising of what used to be legal protest, the way the legal profession is responding to climate change, including this recent guidance on #climatechange from the Law Society. https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/topics/climate-change

All this within an hour of friendly, informal chat. I love these #virtualcoffee hours. The next one is May 25th. Want to come? Sign up here https://bit.ly/2UeGiDV

Do you happen to know whether there is something like #100DaysOfCode, #CodeNewbie or #VirtualCoffee like on Twitter on #Fedi as well?

In the past two years I helped quite a few people with explaining and pointing to tools.

Would love to be able to extend this to this space here if there is interest!
