I love reading your newsletters, and those upcoming topics on misinformation seem fascinating to me. When I think of how hard it is these days for people to come together and to pull in the same direction for policies that benefit us all, I often end up thinking about social media companies and their role in building these massively powerful tools that optimise for our attention; not social cohesion, accuracy, inclusivity, diversity, or kindness. As a result, I do believe that echo chambers, algorithmic bias, and the invisible, enormous power that the tech sector has over our communities and democratic processes have been a huge part of why it is so difficult to get consensus on climate action, when the science is clear and evidence-backed solutions are readily available.

So in short, a +1 to you writing about misinformation, I'm looking forward to reading it!

I really enjoy your newsletters - they're reliably informative and extremely clear and easy to understand. I love the topics you have planned. I also have really enjoyed the recent issues that have a direct impact on what WE can do to positively impact the environment - for instance, the issue about plane travel, and the one that helped me see that reducing waste in landfills was actually more important than buying an EV. That's my small request - more info on what we can do to make an impact.
