Another record year for the Green Party 👏 859 Councillors on 170 Councils in England & Wales Now join us to keep Greens growing and to take the fight to Reform join.greenparty.org.uk

We need bold leadership. Now. That's why I'm running to be the next leader of the Green Party. Join our campaign: backzack.com #BackZack

Greens now run Kettering Town Council - 19/20 @greenparty.org.uk councillors elected today (here’s a pic of some of us!) #LocalElections2025 @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Amazing result for @greenparty.org.uk in North Northamptonshire. Eight whole Green Councillors elected 👏💚👏

We got a total of 128 #VoteGreen boards up in Kettering. Here’s a small selection of the lovely people voting for the @greenparty.org.uk tomorrow! #LocalElections2025

🌏 #CANBill champions Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall & Dominique Palmer's message for Ed Miliband: “Ed, as you know, climate and nature are inextricably linked—and as we know, you’re a supporter of restoring the natural world. Now, we need your support for the CAN Bill. Please, back it, don’t block it.”

Excellent to see Labour getting rid of the arbitrary deadline to register all historic rights of way. Landowning lobbyists had got the Tories to put in a deadline of 2031 to register 49,000 miles of lost paths. Next step: a right of responsible access, please! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“Give people the right to walk around the edges of privately owned fields”, say the ace @slowwaysuk.bsky.social New polling shows 7 in 10 Brits agree This is what @righttoroam.bsky.social has proposed for English cropland & has long been the case in Scotland www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This week marks the beginning of Black Friday sales where we renew our call for consumers to #BoycottAmazon There is a myriad of environmental and ethical issues with Amazon, in our latest feature we highlight their Tax avoidance, which in 2023 we estimate cost UK citizens £233m bit.ly/3AYr667

My first comment piece in @theguardian.com is on a topic very close to my heart; the threat that the #ClimateCrisis poses to my local community in South Wales. Here's a thread with a few extra thoughts from me 🧵

The Climate and Nature Bill is dream legislation and we - you and I - have the chance to help make it UK law But what’s so great about it, don’t we have legislation for climate and the environment already? Well... Here are my Top 10 favourite things about the #CANBill

It is worth regularly revisiting this exchange between @aoc.bsky.social and scientists working for Exxon, who in 1982 accurately predicted global warming between 1977 and 2003, contradicting the fossil fuel company's decades-long climate denial.

“Strikingly, people who cycled on a daily basis had 84% lower carbon emissions from all their daily travel than those who didn’t.”

I’ve been with Brightwayz for just over a year and have to say it’s great to be part of an organisation that totally fits my ideals! …and we just won the Modeshift Organisation of the Year at the National Sustainable Travel Awards 💚 #ActiveTravel

Remember that footage of gamekeepers killing a Hen Harrier on a grouse moor? Seen pictures of moors being set alight in recent weeks? It’s time to ban driven grouse shooting. Please sign @wildjustice.bsky.social’s petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Can’t recommend @adamtranter.bsky.social excellent substack enough. Always manages to pull the essential active travel news together 👏

We need to reduce waste. It does not have to mean have less, it means have better, have good things, that you can repair and don't have to buy again and again. #RightToRepair #CircularEconomy Terry Pratchett knew the score.

Brilliant to be at the annual conference of @thegreenparty.bsky.social councillors and to have such a HUGE turnout - it grows exponentially every year. There are now over 800 Green councillors! Making a difference near you 💚

@laurieneedham.bsky.social I spy your Geoff 💚👏

Very surprised to see the sponsored hike and hammock camp for our local Home-Start make it onto the front page of last weeks Northants Telegraph! I’m in the middle (this is also my fourth front page) 😅

Last month, NFU president Tom Bradshaw revealed it was their lobbying that blocked Labour’s right to roam plans. This denies millions access to nature while empowering antisocial landowners. NFU, we’re calling you out—let’s debate access reform openly. It’s time for change. #RightToRoam

The e-scooter trials in Northants towns have been a brilliant success. Women’s safety is an added benefit as spoken about by Voi user Frankie vimeo.com/935489646 in her interview with Brightwayz. We really need infrastructure to keep them off the pavements though.

Making a start on a starter pack of East Midlands Greens and Green Parties! Who wants in?! go.bsky.app/5c34JWJ

Joining Bluesky feels a bit like when I joined Twitter. All the cool people are already here, having a great time and I’m just a bit late to the party. But with more characters.

Hey Bluesky! We've made the jump from the Other Place. We're Right to Roam: a campaign to reform access rights in England & Wales so that everyone can experience the countryside, wherever they live. We teach responsible trespass & believe in a culture of connection & care for the natural world.
