Today is hopefully the last day of two straight weeks spraying Japanese Knotweed on the River Roding. There’s more than twice as much as was originally mapped, but we’re going hard to rescue this tidal marsh from being swallowed whole by the invasive menace. Hot. Wet. Smelly. @protect.earth

Three years ago, Utrecht completed the transformation of the Sint Josephlaan and turned an unattractive, unlivable car sewer into a green city boulevard.
It shows that even Dutch cities were not always like they are today and have often come a long way in becoming better versions of themselves.

Anyone fancy helping @protect.earth build a data warehouse from all sorts of numbers floating around Notion, a MySQL db, and potentially other stuff like The Land App?
It’s getting difficult to track metrics on all the trees we’ve planted, invasives removed, ancient woodland restored, etc.

YouGov polling for @bestforbritain.org shows that most people intending or considering a vote for Reform are in favour of a wealth tax - which is Green Party policy
Nigel Farage & Richard Tice are, of course, vehemently opposed to taxing the ultra-rich whose interests they represent.

Had a decent night sleep on the boat. Zero degrees is cold but I’ve camped in less, and the morning was a lot easier. Boiled some water, poached some eggs, washed up in the eggs water because pump still out.
Then onto the fun stuff. Splitting wood. Stacking and storing by moisture %.

Ready for first zero degree night on the boat. Stuck half a woodland in the stove and the back boiler is sending some warmth to the bedroom radiator. Got five layers on and I’ve cracked out the sheep skin to go in the bed. Excited to upgrade this boat but it’s slooooow progress.
