Welcome
How the World is Changing
T
here are so many ways that we
can care for our environment if
everyone in the world takes the
same level of control. Its fascinating to see
that BYD from China are taking so much
ground in the EV world and it is hoped
that this will have a significant impact on
China’s contribution in support of Net Zero
targets.
Our magazine once again reveals some
wonderful stories about the progress being
made in so many ways in the world of
sustainability.
I recently enjoyed some time walking
around the beautiful Lake District an
area that I have visited and enjoyed for
many years. During this trip, I was quite
saddened to see so many large trees that
had clearly fallen in the past 12 to 24
months and to see that they had popped
their root balls entirely out of the ground.
The photos here clearly show this having
happened.
Whilst touring within Forestry
Commissions land areas, I was particularly
saddened to see this tree cluster lifting the
forest floor.
We all know how much rain we have
endured across the UK and these
photographs are the reality of what is the
potential outcome of such bad weather.
Let’s hope that some global warming helps
this issue to go away.

Speaking from a
personal history of
imports and exports,
I genuinely believe that
disturbing free trade
agreements is not great
for peace and harmony
in our world.
