As someone who's never been told that I'm too quiet, this sounds totally up my comms street.

Anyone heading to edie in a coupla weeks?
Swing by and say hi, Iβll be on the SWC stand chatting about compatible carbon accounting and sustainability comms π
I know you're working on that alchemic mix of gravitas, fear, relatable reactions, championing successes so far and ultimately a call to action... with a belief in and hope for a better future @sioldridge.bsky.social & @nickoldridge.bsky.social
Can't wait to see the final film!

Some constructive questioning and criticism I've read of the @nebriefing.bsky.social is that it was too pessimistic, and would generate fear in a general audience - resulting in helplessness and inaction.
Seems that a bit of fear (but not dread) can be motivating.

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
A tea cosy.
So obsessed with tea that we hand knit accessories for our kitchenware.
Actually, a hand knitted tea cosy should be definitely be on the list.
Canβt think of any other nation that obsessed with keeping tea warm on a cold winterβs morning, that they knit accessories for kitchenware.
I love this conversation starter of national identify through objects and places.
What would you choose to show βEnglishnessβ?
For me?

Really hoping that @lizzicollinge.bsky.social will be there to stand up for nature, recognising that nature underpins us all.
I like villains who have some likeable and relatable features. They love classical music, or are kind to cats, or pick up litter, or go swimming in the sea everyday. Real humans are rarely 100% bad or 100% unlike you. The best villains are the ones you're not sure about, their evil sneaks up on you!
Hope is here. 200k Green Party Members.
Hi! Weβre the Kendal and District local branch of the @greenparty.org.uk and weβve just joined BlueSky!
If youβre one of the 1000s of new members whoβve joined the Greens recently, and you live in the South Lakes area, come along to one of our monthly meetings - weβd love to meet you.
Thinking we need a print of new badges - βGreen Menace. Bewareβ

Showing successes so far is the most motivating thing to get people to take action.
For the Green Party the success of gaining a new Northern MP has been a winning comms strategy to gain new members.
Shout about your success, make people want to be part of it. #ClimateComms
It was incredible to be part of so many people coming together. Different areas, different ages, different backgrounds, one common hope. Everyone just felt compelled to help in some small way.

Congrats @greenpartyhan.bsky.social youβre going to be a brilliant MP! π
Yesterday was inspiring, knackering, and felt like being part of a monumental shift.
Today is relief, hope and optimism π
Me and my pal are going to be there! Hoping to get there for a 9am start. Would be great to meet you IRL and say hello if time and locations allow ;-)
The only thing keeping my nerves at bay watching the #curling final is speed knitting.
Reckon Iβll have a whole cardigan by the end of the match.

If you're into any kind of #climatecomms, you could treat yourself to a new book from the Climate Fiction longlist, to end your week.
Can confirm or deny that more books are en route to my house, and no, I don't know which overfull bookshelf they will go on either.
Youβre welcome!
There are big numbers being touted for the cost of re-nationalisation. But those numbers come from privatised water companiesβ¦ donβt know about you, but not sure I trust them to mark their own homework here!
The People's Commission report goes into detail about the legal and economic steps to re-nationalisation too:
www.thepeoplescommissiononthewatersector.co.uk/reports
Great Q about the cost of re-nationalising water companies. Report by Unison p24 debunks the legal position of compensation:
www.unison.org.uk/content/uplo...
TLDR> Shareholders already paid + value of failing company + debts = Β£0 compensation.

And viewers want more of it!
Latest research from @climateoutreach.bsky.social shows "People want solutions to climate change to be shown more often, with less onus put on individuals to solve the problem"
We want subtle, woven-in stories of positive climate action in our arts.

Climate Change, hey? You gotta laugh!
A new wave of climate comedy is helping climate messages reach audiences without the doom.

When people believe that reaching 'net zero' is a good idea, but too expensive, we need to ask, 'Compared to what?'
Yet more hidden costs of fossil fuels that we all pay the price for.
Great to have you with us Harvey! Can def recommend getting along to your local party meetings, great way to meet new friends and make an impact.
Any #greenparty members want to join me for this?
Climate Outreach always have great insights into what voters feel and how best to talk with them.
βWe canβt be shrinking away from this space,β say the scientists combating misinformation by taking strategies from the influencer playbook.
Good feature on what's involved in getting very online by @catrionaclarke.bsky.social @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Iβm taking a positive unifying view on this important research: We have more in common than that which divides us!
Big majority of Brits enjoying pancakes today - the style and topping are just details.
We know huge system-change is needed in energy, but so too are the changes in your career, your relationships & your identity, leaving an industry you can no longer align your values with.
These kind of support projects are a vital part of what effective and equitable system-change looks like.
