I think your G is wrong. Try T.

A rather late reply, shuttleplayer, so you've probably worked it out by now, but your entry for 16d must be incorrect.
It's an anagram around a 3-letter synonym for 'nonetheless'. It's not one of the themed clues.
21 and 26A are themed.

Could someone explain wordplay for 6D - I see the 'slice' of 2 and the solution I have fits the definition. Can someone parse the 3 LETTERS surrounding the slice. Thanks in advance - need to submit shortly

Revolutionary desiGN For nurturing surrounding landscape?

The 3 letters are reversed (revolutionary) in the clue, I suppose that is implied by 'nurturing'
