Timothy Bird+FollowAre UK Homebuilders Skipping Nature Duty?Here’s the tea: UK homebuilders might soon get a free pass to skip replacing nature when building new homes, thanks to a proposed rule change. If this goes through, most new builds could bulldoze green spaces without planting anything back. That’s a big deal for wildlife and anyone who loves a walk in the park. The drama? Developers could self-declare their projects as exempt, and critics say this loophole is being used way too much. If you want to help, even planting a few wildflowers at home makes a difference! #Business #Homebuilding #NatureMatters10Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowWould You Pay $2M for an Empty Lot?Imagine dropping nearly $2 million on... an empty patch of dirt!

If you’re looking for a solid career, learning a trade could mean big bucks—no college degree required! #HomeBuilding #SkilledTrades #MoneyHacks #RealEstate40Share
