Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.Notes from the showThe PH+ article: Seeing the wood for the trees - Placing ecology at the heart of constructionLenny Antonelli on LinkedinAndy Simmonds on LinkedInAn article with the 'just do less pyramid' from Treehugger: Can Architects Survive in a World Where We Have to Build Less?Another article with the 'just do less pyramid' from Treehugger: The Key to Green Building Is to Use Less StuffA link to the Half earth paper: Protecting half of the planet could directly affect over one billion peopleThe AECB Youtube channelBiomass - a burning issue, the AECB-commissioned article by Nick Grant and Alan Clarke (only the cached version appears to exist online now)The Guardian article about the 10% contributing the most carbon emissions  The Finnish paper Lloyd references: The sufficiency perspective in climate policy: How to recompose consumption**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn pageJeff, Alex, and Dan about websites, branding, and communications - zap@eiux.agency; Everything is User ExperienceSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd's Substack: Carbon...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/imp-PGTK0p-Yir06lCKyRzcHa9UWxL7NtYiXEdkSiXw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI2NDY5LzE2OTYy/ODc4ODAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
