Here in the U.K. we've been having some weather, with record breaking "hottest June day" records being smashed three days in a row, with the highest getting to 37.3C (in the shade).

Last year the electric van I'd been living in for three years was destroyed in a crash on the motorway.

In the run up to Christmas most folks are winding down, but I was winding up trying to get as much done as possible before people stop replying to emails.

I really enjoyed chronicling my chaos in the last post and and apparently so did you!

It took me two years to get around to writing a second article about living in a tiny electric campervan, and it was written off before I even finished the article.

In October 2022 I bought a small electric van, a Nissan E-NV200, that became affectionately known as the Struggle Bus.

I am proud to be working with Zero Carbon Adventures trying to make bikepacking trips more sustainable.

Writing good news about the fight to save the planet has been tough lately, because so much awful has been happening, but a few amazing things have happened that I wanted to let you know about.

Dale Vince is the owner of Ecotricity, which claims to be “Britain’s greenest energy supplier”, selling renewable electricity and greenwashed fossil gas.

Every autumn/winter my charity Protect Earth plant as many trees as we possibly can to fight the climate and biodiversity crises.

The wartime rollout of renewables all over the Europe Union to fight the climate crisis and get off of Russian gas means that they've finally got to more renewables that fossil fuels.

With the world getting ever more stressful I have decided its about time to start posting some of the good news that comes across my screen.

Erik Wilde is well known in the world of HTTP and APIs for his work on defining standards, and the excellent YouTube channel "Getting APIs to Work". which has over 250 videos talking about everything from data meshes, security breaches, and API lifecycle…

Carbon offsetting often sparks heated debates.

Renewable energy is not just the cleanest way to generate electricity, it has long been the cheapest.
