I did a podcast with @bmj_latest about JOY in sustainable healthcare! It's not 'giving stuff up', it's a doorway to saving the things you love & surrounding yourself with the best of humanity ☺️ All NHS staff should feel this good about going to work.

Week 256. We are currently shattering heat records all over the world. Last week we experienced the hottest days ever recorded, many days in a row. We are also experiencing record high sea level temperatures and record low ice levels. This is an emergency. #FridaysForFuture

We lost more than 400 people on Thursday 04 May 2023, after a rain in Kalehe (Eastern Congo). Meanwhile, Shell boasts of having benefited more than 7 billion just for the first quarter of this year. You benefit there, we die here. It is time to stop climate imperialism. #ActNow

This is the United Nations commenting on Sunak’s Public Order Act - the one that allowed the police to arrest peaceful protesters (even before they began protesting!).
“Deeply concerning”
“Incompatible… with human rights”
No they ain’t talking about Sudan, Iran, or Russia!
