This time next week, #EdinburghHour will have kicked off - will you join us in promoting Edinburgh retailers and makers?

Pour yourself a drink, pull up a chair... it'll be fun!
PLEASE SHARE:

On Black Friday, I want to draw attention away from the big chains and towards local Edinburgh independent retailers, makers and markets.

Please join me from

7 pm - 8 pm on Friday 28 November

to share some ideas for Christmas gifting.

We'll use the hashtag #EdinburghHour

Von der Leyen says EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions
The comment could undermine European countries’ push at COP30 to move away from coal, oil and gas.

With 1 of 5ish deaths worldwide due to air pollution, largely from fossil fuels, it seems like it'd benefit present day well-being of a few people if a wee bit of money was left in the "Energy Transition" bucket...

Many are calling #COP30 “the Indigenous People’s COP." With historically marginalized groups afforded access to the main venue for climate negotiations, Indigenous, Afro-descendant and local community leaders see reason for hope.
