From carbon emissions and plastic pollution to overfishing, corporate greed is pushing our ocean to the brink. But there is hope. This Earth Day, ClientEarth are matching all donations until 9pm April 30th. Now is the time to show your support!

Ahead of tomorrow's Strategic Dialogue on the Chemicals Industry Package, a reminder that the public should have a say in any further changes to the REACH proposal. Let’s not make this process into another Omnibus, putting industry interests over safety. www.clientearth.org/latest/press...

Today, the UK’s Climate Change Committee (CCC) has published its advice on the country’s 7th carbon budget, containing targets to achieve by 2038-2042. But, you might be wondering, what about the UK’s existing climate targets, which it doesn’t seem to be all that committed to hitting? (1/4)

One to keep an eye on.

Clearly the play here by President Trump here has been to overload the public with these major moves. So the majority of these do not get sufficient MSM coverage, and fly under the radar.

It's blowin a hoolie out there!

Why are Forever Chemicals so bad for people and the planet?

The latest in our oil wells case in Colorado, US. There are 2.1 million abandoned and unplugged oil and gas wells across the US. This case is an important step towards holding oil and gas companies accountable for those wells at the end of their profitable life ⬇️ www.clientearth.us/latest/holdi...

I've always admired Norway—its stunning landscapes, rich culture, and those incredible fjords. This article just reminded me I really need to visit one-day #TravelGoals

Just a week in, and @bsky.app has already become my first stop every morning. I’ve tried plenty of new platforms over the past couple of years, but none have shifted my habits this fast. It’s now my go-to for news and where I’m spending most of my time.

#COP29 drama: Azerbaijan lost the domain name to an Indian cookware company, which handed it over to climate activists (@globalwitness.bsky.social). Now the site calls out fossil fuels and is banned in Baku. Global climate talks, local plot twists. 🌍🚫 #COP29

Outstanding! 🙌

Good evening from a chilly but beautiful London.

Chris Wright, Trump's pick for Energy Secretary, once toasted to the 'healthier lives' from oil and gas while downing fracking fluid. It's hard to trust someone with the future of America's energy when they see no problem with toxic practices. #EnergySecretaryFail

Just wrapped up my first week here, and I’m really enjoying it. The posts are interesting, and people actually seem engaged. Curious to see where this goes. #Bluesky

Good news indeed 🙌. But important to understand that the global picture is a lot bleaker.

📌 so helpful!

Bold and courageous move by The Guardian. It will be interesting to see how other news organizations respond—and what this means for social media's role in news distribution.
