#BookClub: November Pick - the High House by Jessie Greengrass. More about our book club: https://lnkd.in/d-jBMWKa Imagine owning a house by the sea… sounds dreamy? But what if it could turn into a nightmare? https://lnkd.in/evagYqti Book description: ‘Perched on a hill above a village by the sea, the high house has a mill, a vegetable garden and a barn full of supplies. Caro and her younger half-brother, Pauly, arrive there one day to find it cared for by Grandy and his granddaughter, Sally. Not quite a family, they learn to live together, and care for one another. But there are limits even to what the ailing Grandy knows about how to survive, and, if the storm comes, it might not be enough.' #Novel #ClimateChange #Adaptation #England

#BookClub: When advocating for a more sustainable future, we inevitably find ourselves in negotiations. Whether it’s nudging your partner to eat more veggies or lobbying the government to invest in better water treatment facilities, some good tactics can go a long way. More about our #sustainability book club: https://lnkd.in/d-jBMWKa Book description: ‘Never Split the Difference is a riveting, indispensable handbook of #negotiation principles culled and perfected from Christopher Voss' remarkable career as a hostage negotiator and later as an award-winning teacher in the world's most prestigious business schools. From policing the rough streets of Kansas City, Missouri, to becoming the FBI's lead international kidnapping negotiator to teaching negotiation at leading universities, Voss has tested these techniques across the full spectrum of human endeavour and proved their effectiveness. Those who have benefited from these techniques include business clients generating millions in additional profits, MBA students getting better jobs, and even parents dealing with their kids.’

#Podcast: In this episode, our guest Grace Chua talks us through her work as the Head of Writing and Storytelling at Kite Insights. She explains how #storytelling can bring us to a more sustainable future, while highlighting the ethos of trying to serve people and curiosity as essential qualities in content production jobs. We also discuss our perceptions of using AI and strategies to avoid greenwashing for clients. Speaking from her previous experience, Grace shares her career journey as an #environmental #journalist. We touch on the issue of misinterpreting scientific findings, what it takes to properly communicate science and tips for asking questions. For inspiring books and essays on sustainability, Grace recommends ⁠What If We Get It Right?⁠, ⁠Climate Action for Busy People⁠, ⁠Braiding Sweetgrass⁠, ⁠The Field⁠ and an essay on Solarpunk⁠. When it comes to climate-friendly #food, it’s hard for her to pick a favourite, but she enjoys the creative recipes from ⁠Plantasia⁠, which celebrates plant-based twists on traditional Asian cooking.

#podcast: Our guest today is Ben Gray, a Sustainability Initiatives Coordinator at Imperial College London. After graduating from Chemistry, Ben went on to work at P&G as an analytical scientist, where he started to understand the environmental impact of labs. Now, combining his background and previous experience, he is promoting sustainable practices across 1,000+ university labs. We discuss what #LabSustainability means and why it’s important, especially as funders are increasingly demanding it these days! Ben also explains his routine, the sustainable standards he works with - Lab Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF) - and highlights an essential quality for promoting sustainability initiatives across all sectors: being kind and friendly! For a book that serves as a starting point and foundational knowledge about our changing climate, Ben recommends The Climate Book. When it comes to climate-friendly food, we exchange our curry recipes with vegetarian twists: Ben’s butter ‘chicken’ with sweet potatoes and Yongsi’s katsu curry with Quorn nuggets.

#BookClub: For many of us, beach is a synonym for summer. But when you look at the alluring blue water, how much do you know about it?   More about our #sustainability book club: https://lnkd.in/d-jBMWKa Book description: ‘Earth is home to a huge story that is rarely told - that of our ocean. Not the fish or the dolphins, but the massive ocean engine itself: what it does, why it works, and the many ways it has influenced animals, weather and human history & culture. In a book that will recalibrate our view of this defining feature of our planet, physicist Helen Czerski dives deep to illuminate the murky depths of the ocean engine, examining the messengers, passengers and voyagers that live in it, travel over it, and survive because of it. From the ancient Polynesians who navigated the Pacific by reading the waves to permanent residents of the deep such as the Greenland shark that can live for hundreds of years, she explains the vast currents, invisible ocean walls and underwater waterfalls that all have their place in the ocean's complex, interlinked system. Timely, elegant and passionately argued, #BlueMachine presents a fresh perspective on what it means to be a citizen of an ocean planet. The understanding it offers is crucial to our future. Drawing on years of experience at the forefront of marine science, Helen Czerski captures the magnitude and subtlety of Earth's defining feature, showing us the thrilling extent to which we are at the mercy of this great engine.’
