After discussing our team agreed to do some more research and dive deep into ways on tackling the solid food waste recycling.

The moment of truth …The results are so bewildering that it is far beyond disavowal that something needs to be done immediately to mitigate this situation.@MontgomeryCoMD @cheetahsread @Bar_T_Tweets @KeyCompost @MCPSSERT @TalkinTrashMC @MyGreenMC @RCMSPrincipal @RCMSsciteacher

*New thread* Today we've published two new reports on UK #land use & #biomass setting out why they're important in tackling climate change & how our land can help to build resilience to climate impacts. Here's a summary of both: theccc.org.uk/wp-content/upl… and theccc.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
Kicking off with land use: Our report says fundamental reform to how land is used and managed is needed to deliver the UK’s climate goals. There is now a unique opportunity to define a better land strategy that can tackle the challenges of #climatechange. Read the Exec Summary.
Significant changes in land use could help reduce emissions by 35-80% by 2050. Figure 2.5 explains. Deeper cuts in emissions by 2050 require ↑↑ tree planting & peatland restoration, while the harvesting of biomass could help to displace emissions in energy & construction.

Re: @timberners_lee's #Solid / @SolidMit

Hi @robertscammell!

More interesting that Facebook, I used to work on TheMine!Project*, a highly influential, much-plagiarised & ultimately unsuccessful stab at personal information stores, from 2006-2011.

*themineproject.org
If you want to know my opinion of how @timberners_lee's #Solid will impact "tech giants", watch this video (actually, x3) from 2010; the bulletpoints are:

- facebook killers, aren't
- there's plenty of room for alternatives
- first it must grow

The media loves zero-sum, david/goliath stories, and thereby often causes doom ("ello") & even tragically suicidal levels of stress ("diaspora*") to people who are foolish enough to pitch themselves/their platforms as the antithesis of "social media giantism; so do please beware.

Food hubs. Where to start.

The whole point of local food is supposed to be "shorten the supply chain." Food hubs are supposed to facilitate that.

What they *actually* do is just add another layer of middleman.
There's an inevitable cycle with food hubs (touched on in passing in the article but never really examined).

1. Sell food to niche bougie outlets

2. Saturate those niche outlets, bc they're niche
3. Realize that if you want to live & participate in the world of modern food, you gotta pull on the big kid pants & sell to big distributors like Sysco & Aramark

4. Congrats now you're just another layer of middleman, & kind of an unnecessary one at that

Food in Nairobi has been going uninspected for months because the county lacks capacity to conduct the randomised testing necessary to maintain food safety standards - DN
Nairobi County Executive Committee member in charge of health, Mr. Hitan Majevda, said Monday that the six laboratories meant to conduct the tests have been out of commission due to lack of appropriate chemicals. - DN
Food testing is part of the surveillance function that the county is supposed to undertake to ensure that food is safe for consumption. It is meant to catch unscrupulous traders who lace food with harmful chemicals or those who flout basic hygiene and cleanliness standards. - DN
