Many thanks to all who attended our AGM yesterday. In the new year, it was decided to focus on jobs within the Community Garden to get it in good shape for spring.
We'll be brushing up on permaculture principles over the holidays! 🌿🌱

Researching this week's column, I stumbled across something that amazed me:
the near-absence of reliable data about climate impacts over most of the
world. Due to the rich world's failure to fund research. We don't know
because our governments don't care. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Grangemouth shows both the risks and opportunities of industrial transition. Over 400 jobs lost - but the site could become a hub for clean fuels and chemicals.
In this briefing, we outline urgent 'no regrets' actions and the policy changes needed to secure a future for the site and its community.

Prospects for Grangemouth: risks, opportunities and policy options >> Green Alliance briefing
The Grangemouth industrial complex in Scotland has been in the headlines throughout 2025 as its refinery closed and over 400 workers lost their jobs. While some have blamed net zero, the site’s owner was clear: aging infrastructure and uncompetitive operations were the cause.

Journalists face challenges in reporting on climate interventions because the science is complex and the issues are often multifaceted. But the reporting should avoid sensationalism and try to present risks proportionately, help the public understand uncertainty, and avoid oversimplification.
