Two years ago, @Tate galleries declared a climate emergency & pledged to cut their carbon footprint by 10% by 2023. That target has already been reached, says director Francis Morris, adding that the cut should be considered alongside a previous 40% reduction since 2007.

Over 500 m yr old, Welsh slate is acknowledged as the finest of its type worldwide; light grey in colour with a subtle reflective surface, the riven cut edge lends a chalky white slant to the grey & the material used in the artwork is a waste product from the roof tiling industry

"Unlike past mass extinctions - the current crisis is almost entirely caused by us — humans. In fact, 99 % of currently threatened species are at risk from human activities, primarily those driving habitat loss, introduction of exotic species, & global warming." @lukejerram
"The bell rings 150-200 times a day - that's how many species scientists tell us we lose, every day." Thankyou @lukejerram @cabotinstitute for all you do fighting for nature.
