Tech revolution requires huge intakes of water (and air) - but also provides opportunity for green(er) heat and hot water networks as a by-product.
There is nothing virtual about tech.

Fascinating stuff - the energy impact of storing data would be monumental - and catastrophic - if we had as many AI vehicles as we have manually driven today. – at Camberwell, London
Brilliant letter in @ft about the pointlessness of the race to build autonomous vehicles with great stats on comparative energy use of robot and human drivers

Just 3% of London’s annual retrofit target is being met, according to @londoncouncils . We need to do far more to get #UKhousing to #netzero – at Camden Town, London

Being non-Palestinian, I have the “privilege” of being able use Israeli roads, so have managed to escape the West Bank, after ambling over an earth-mound road block, getting through checkpoints, and across Allenby bridge, before it was closed once again.

The border with Jordan is currently only sporadically open, with only 1000 Palestinians allowed in and out each morning. Tens of thousands of Palestinians are looking to escape the West Bank, fearing further escalation. Foreign NGO workers and volunteers are being evacuated.

3.2m Palestinians living under blockade in West Bank as all internal checkpoints remain closed, and external ones now for foreigners and Israelis only. Food, petrol and water running low already as sporadic tear gas and rubber bullets fired in by IDF to keep a lid on protest.

Israel now firing tear gas into the streets of Bethlehem.

Eerily quiet general strike in West Bank today - other than the distant roar of Israeli jets heading for more indiscriminate air strikes killing civilians in Gaza. There will be no peace in Palestine without the end of all illegal Israeli settlements, and the occupation.

Basically how the circles of Amman “work” - nonsensical tail backs, plenty of idling pollution, zero consideration for pedestrians who simply cannot cross.

Over 6 years after the Grenfell fire, the Social Housing Regulation Act is now law. This is the first step in the reform the sector sorely needs, and we thank everyone who has campaigned for these changes, and who continue to fight for better treatment of social housing tenants.

Highly recommend visiting Aida camp when visiting Bethlehem, especially this artist’s shop, and going on a tour with my friend Marwan 🇵🇸 – at Camberwell, London
This Palestinian artist transforms Israeli tear gas canisters into handicrafts 👇
