#ClimateDiary 3rd March 2023. Today is a big #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike. I salute all young people yet again demanding #ClimateAction. And am thinking back to the #Youthstrikes and #GretaThunberg exactly four years ago (when - hearing children’s voices asking adults to act - i had my #Ecophany, set up a local @parents4future group etc). Good day to reflect on what has changed since then. Certainly not as much as we hoped then. Yes change takes time but we have so little

@ScotHomestead @jbenjamint 2/2 #ClimateDiary After school, there was a new preloved uniform sale, organised by parents, which was a huge success. Really good to see a small local #circular economy projects taking off, particularly in this school, in this (conservative) town. Of course this is as much about the #CostOfLiving crisis as about #sustainability. Learning so much about what works, what doesn’t (see recently posted #Ecophany #Burnout paper about own unsuccessful attempts) #ClimateAction

This morning I had an exchange with @saskia about a setback with establishing a #SchoolStreet in Bath. Since then I've been thinking about all those #UK local councils that declared a #ClimateEmergency in 2019. I thought I might share here a (not very good paper) I wrote about my experiences with this here in #Eastbourne - what worked, what didn't. Maybe useful for some, I don't know. Would love to hear others!

My main experience of switching from birdsite to here: there constantly in grip of #climate related news and calls to #activism; here “oh this is nice and really interesting” stuff - which has been great for well-being and has made me reflect on how my #ecophany and #climateactvism have coincided exactly with time on birdsite - all birdsite radicalisation?

Appreciate calm here but would welcome a bit more urgency perhaps (lack prob just a function of own timeline I know) #BombCyclone
