Christmas can be tough at the best of times. For those who are homeless, it can be unbearable. A great blog from one of our clients about the realities of homelessness, and whether recent pledges of government funds can make a difference:

It really does show what's possible and gives us hope for the future!

A positive, clean energy story from @edienet.bsky.social but it begs the question: why are we only just catching up to 2011 levels of annual solar installations when the climate emergency has been dominating the headlines under successive governments during this time?

Born in Japan, spogomi is now going global. As competitors like to say: ‘the real winner is the environment’
