'You know it's time for change when children act like leaders and leaders act like children'. The next generation are pretty cool - we've got a lot of work to do to live up to them!

Happy Mothers Day, Mother Earth 🌍 I want to celebrate you by sharing this petition to adopt a Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth. Human wellbeing and prosperity can no longer be at nature's expense. Link in bio #EarthRights #ClimateAction #MotherEarth https://www.thepetitionsite.com/en-gb/takeaction/826/567/703/

Given the complexity of the challenges facing the world today, such as climate breakdown, inequality and biodiversity loss, there is a necessity to shift from individual thinking to more collective ways of knowing. In my latest blog post I reflect on how the dialogue method and quaker practices aim to achieve this. Link in bio - would love to know what you think! #dialogue #collectiveknowing #Quakerism @britishquakers

Maria is someone who proves you are never to old to blow soap bubbles and is one of the gentlest and most perceptive people I know. I like to think I can see all her wisdom in those big brown eyes. Grattis i efterskott kära Maria, I hope you enjoy this year. 💕

Yesterday MPs passed a motion making the UK parliament the first in the world to declare an “environment and climate emergency”. This symbolic move is the first step in recognising the urgent need for climate action. It makes me hopeful for the future and so so grateful for all the protestors who have brought this issue to the fore. We have a long way to go but it's amazing what we can achieve together. First two images from the school strike in Helsinki 15.04. Final image from @friends_earth #climateaction #climatejustice #extinctionrebellion#schoolstrike

A time when Finns put on their hats, get merry, drink mead, eat sugary fried bread and go for picnics. I don't know if I really understand the #Vappu hype but when the sun is shining it is pretty sweet.☀️Hyvää Vappua! Trevilg Valborg!

Arvid och Ninni 💛

On my way...🌲

Climate action Nyt! Nyt! Nyt! Uplifting to see over 20 000 people - kids, bikes, prams and pets included - marching and dancing in solidarity with the planet today. The sun shone for us 🌻It's not too late! #ilmastomarssi #climatemarch #climateaction #climatejustice #XR @aaltocs

Incase you are interested in what I am up to these days... #Repost from @aaltocs • Hey CS Community! This is the start of ‘Tuesdays Introducing…’ A weekly post featuring CS students and staff, past and present. We will start by introducing the social media team, so hi! This is @abigail.garbett, I am a second year CS design student and communications assistant for the CS programme. • My background is in fashion design and I have been involved in the repair/ makerspace movement with @edventurefrome. I started studying Creative Sustainability to learn more about systemic change. • Last year’s Design for Government brief about Finland’s National Hiking Areas inspired me to look into how people connect to nature in urban environments. This initial interest has evolved into my thesis topic and I am now obsessed. In my opinion, our connection to nature is vital not only for human wellbeing but also for engaging people with issues of sustainability. I see access to green space as a fundamental issue for environmental justice. • I work in Väre, room R201 and love eating in soup (studio) Kipsari. Come say Hi! • #madeinaalto #CSintroducing #CreativeSustainability • Thank you @naomiswood for the photograph, still the best one I have two years later 😊
