5 weeks ago I joined a cohort of makers on #100daysofnocode and committed to #buildinpublic The way we shop is broken and while the things in our life pile up, they’re left to waste or worse still - thrown away. I’m building a platform with #circulareconomy at its core. (1/3)

One million people across Europe missed their cancer diagnosis during lockdown period. Where is the outcry? Where are the emergency press conferences? Where are the TV updates? Honestly thousands and thousands of people will die because of this - many already have. Scandalous.

Europe is insanely warm right now. It has never been this warm so late in the year for some. Can't believe it is only 43 days until Christmas.

Sorry to repeat myself, but you *really* need to know this. Under the government's Public Order Bill, anyone who has protested in the previous 5 years can be forced to "submit to ... being fitted with, or the installation of, any necessary apparatus" to monitor your movements.

There's a lot of interest building up around #NoCode It still feels like it's in its infancy - but it's exciting to see the democratising potential for anybody to get ideas off the ground This year I joined a cohort w/ @100daysnocode which helped lay a strong foundation 1/3

...But IMO was most valuable for meeting a community of curious + aspiring entrepreneurs Without which, I wouldn't have got this far or feel as energised to continue pursuing some design problems I'd really recommend it for anyone getting started 2/3

🌍 Discovered @workonclimate's slack group this wk & w/in a few days have had video calls, chats + bounced ideas off with people across the world. Energising community to be a part of & would urge anyone with an interest in climate + tech to join! 1/3

Some takeaways: 1) There is an abundance of funding and opportunity in the environmental + tech space 2) It's a supportive community of experts who are generous with their time 3) It feels like a great time for anyone to apply their skills in this space 2/3

💚 One particular initiative I came across @Digital_Humani "Reforestation as a Service" A way for apps to connect to reforestation organisations via their API... Enabling products to nudge behaviour + reward the planet. Absolutely brilliant idea! 3/3

“When you take fossil fuels out of the ground, make plastics with them, then burn those plastics for energy, it's clear that this is not a circle—it's a line,” @circulareconomy Burning waste lets out toxic gases that contribute to air pollution. There is #NoSuchThingAsRubbish.
