Thanks to everyone who came along to this morning's Virtual Coffee Hour for Sustainability Stay-at-Homes.
We checked in by sharing games we enjoy (kerplunk sadly didn't get any love from the group, despite it being a great biodiversity metaphor!), and then the conversation got pretty deep, about power and how it concentrates. Phew! If you want to chat with other sustainability people - light or heavy - sign up here for details. https://bit.ly/2UeGiDV

1/ Last week's #VirtualCoffee for #sustainability people flushed out some stories of how people have been burnt out of their sustainability work. The person who did a Masters in sustainable development and now works in an entirely different field, the COP negotiator who now works in elder care, the political speech writer who retrained as clown.
What do we talk about at the sustainability #virtualcoffee? Chat has included 'about to go on my first climate demo, what should I expect?', seasonality on swapping apps, and what happens when you keep chillies in the freezer. July 27th login details: https://bit.ly/2UeGiDV

At today's #virtualcoffee for #sustainability people https://bit.ly/2UeGiDV, we learnt keeping chillies in the freezer makes them easier to cut, dragonfruit are disappointing, and that it's possible to design a website to be more carbon/energy efficient.

There were also fascinating conversations about the #sharingeconomy, seasonality on swapping apps, and that there's a business which rescues 'dead' plants from offices.

Next virtual coffee is in July - do join us.

It was our 50th virtual coffee hour for sustainability stay-at-homes this morning. Chat included:

* reuse or sharing of items in transient communities like students & ex-pats;

* models people are using to guide their work, including donut economics;

* upsides, downsides & explosive disruption which AI might bring.

Join us at future virtual coffee hours, 22nd June, 27 July. Login details https://bit.ly/2UeGiDV #sustainability #virtualcoffee #circularity

@earth_walker
I came knowledgeable of the term from #VirtualCoffee community, but I still didn't try it. It's sort of a senior-in-life but lite version?

Another thread in our discussion was the criminalising of what used to be legal protest, the way the legal profession is responding to climate change, including this recent guidance on #climatechange from the Law Society. https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/topics/climate-change

All this within an hour of friendly, informal chat. I love these #virtualcoffee hours. The next one is May 25th. Want to come? Sign up here https://bit.ly/2UeGiDV

We had such an interesting conversation at the Virtual Coffee Hour for Sustainability people this morning, about The Big One (the upcoming weekend of gathering and protest about the climate emergency in London) #virtualcoffee #sustainability #TheBigOne 🧵
