To state what’s hopefully obvious, being rich doesn’t mean you’re smart. The much more important determiner for wealth, other than being born rich, is likely ruthlessness. And most people who are really good at what they do, and who are making a real contribution — aren’t motivated by being rich.

Forget the elephant in the room. Let’s talk about the #bumblebees in the box. A thread on the commodification of bumblebees to produce your #food. The numbers, why it’s bad for wild bees and how they kill them when they’re no longer of use. Please #share. #repost. For #bees. Thanks folks. 🐝🌍🙏🏼 1/14

I was honoured to become Plantlife’s Species Champion for the rare narrow-leaved water-dropwort and visit Lugg Meadow with their team. These beautiful floodplain meadows store carbon, reduce flooding & support biodiversity—we must protect them. 📸: Paul Rowland

URGENT: if anyone has seen or found a huge (A2) sized folder in the parking lot of MCM London, Excel Arena please let me know. We unfortunately left all our A3 prints behind as we were going back home and this is financially devastating. Please also RT so this can reach further.

Apologies for spamming your TL with plants but it feels like the world needs more flowers atm. I'm really pleased with this accidental combination of purple and white in my garden. 💜🤍🌱
