Starting something without a proper plan is a recipe for disaster. Especially when it comes to combatting the climate crisis. That's why we’ve joined forces with @chrisgpackham.bsky.social, Drag Race UK star Crystal and Dylan Bachelet to help demand a #BigClimatePlan that delivers a brighter future.

As climate change intensifies, we need bigger, bolder plans to reduce emissions and prepare for disaster. What can we learn from successful projects, and how can we speed up vital initiatives without sacrificing quality, planning and the environment? #PlanetA youtu.be/VlDChSmyf-0

I’ve published my submission to the government’s Land Use consultation. DEFRA has proposed lots of bold and interesting ideas, many of which I support. But they also underestimate the scale of land use change needed to restore nature & fix water pollution. 1/🧵 whoownsengland.org/2025/03/12/m...

Landmark UK ruling classes chicken shit as actual waste, rather than merely an 'agricultural byproduct', as it was previously. Hopefully, this will make it harder to get away with killing entire river ecosystems with industrial levels of effluent. www.agriland.ie/farming-news...

There are some big flaws in Reform UK's anti-renewables policy: 1. Our high energy price is due to use of the most expensive source, which is gas 2. The fossil fuel industry received £20bn more subsidies than renewables 2015-2023 3. Most of the UK public is not against Net Zero
