Most of the Lake District:
Geology: 9/10
Ecology: 2/10
It's overgrazed to smithereens by sheep.

Look at this view of Great and Green Gable. You cannot see a single tree or shrub. The sheep have eaten everything.
We hiked for 8h on a sunny April day - I don't think I saw a single flower or insect on the peaks.

Our article: How could we enable low carbon behaviours to reach #NetZero for food & transport?*

*more plant-based diets, active travel & public transport; less driving.
/1 💡Diet and land travel are key sectors for health and sustainability
⛽️Food production is 26% and land travel 12% of global GHG emissions
⚰️Outdoor air pollution leads to more deaths than HIV&malaria combined:

Crunching some numbers:
🚄#HS2 's construction is 8-14 million tCO2 (~12)
🔌1 electric car (Nissan leaf)'s construction is ~10 tCO2
🚘The UK has ~44.5 million petrol&diesel cars
🤯Replacing them all with EVs would take 445 million tCO2 or *37* HS2s
🚉HS2 = 1.2 million EVs
/1 For context, 10t CO2 = 1 UK person /year
Also, #HS2 will last much longer than 1.2 million electric vehicles.
Plus there's ecological impacts of lithium mining for EV batteries. Though building rail takes more concrete?Still :#RailNotRoad
