I had to get a new phone (hate buying new electricals). I was pleased to find mainstream brand Nokia now make an affordable repairable phone, I really hope other big brands get on board. There are repairable phone brands but I've never been able to afford them. #repair #ewaste

I am an adult and today I got locked in my Mum's bathroom for an hour and my Mum had to get me out with a sledgehammer and a crowbar. Biggest concern was if I got a work call and had to explain why I was answering next to the tub.

I, @skemp_esd and @EnviroTaff have a new paper on public carbon reduction behaviour preferences. We find that despite high climate change awareness people aren't willing to make big behavioural changes (i.e. a plant-based diet) to reduce their emissions. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
