Wimbledon, London? If anyone would like to hear my 'Joyful Environmentalist' talk at a 'donation only' event - I'm speaking tomorrow evening (May 16th) at St Mark's Church SW19 7ND at 7pm. All welcome. Please bring a pen. :-)

Enter the competition for a chance to win a copy of The Joyful Environmentalist (new updated edition) by the incredible @isabel-losada.bsky.social 📚💙🌿 comps.countryliving.co.uk/competition/... #booksky #compsky

As an atheist I'm delighted that the new Pope favours the continuity of Francis. I'm gladdened that his will represent real Christianity and stand up for the poor, the oppressed and our planet. May he be blessed by his God. He'll need it.

I love that I can winge on here & as it's not directed at anyone specific I can get away with it. I'm SO TIRED OF BEING ASKED TO WRITE COPY FOR FREE! An hour or two's work is still work even if you're an author. Sheesh. Thank you for listening friends. :-) #booksky #authors #PR #Publicity.

"The dictionary defines an environmentalist as 'a person who seeks to improve the quality of the natural environment and to protect it from harmful human activity. That's you, that's me. That's all the sane ones who live on this Earth." @isabel-losada.bsky.social from #TheJoyfulEnvironmentalist

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

Earth Day is a reminder that we only have one planet. Sometimes, it takes seeing Earth from space to truly grasp how precious it is. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)

“Today, however, we have to realize that a true ecological approach always becomes a social approach; it must integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.” ― #PopeFrancis,

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

I'm going to go on shouting about this as I'm so proud & happy to be speaking at @kneppwilding.bsky.social - This Thursday - & you are given a 3 course meal with the ticket price - as well as my excellent talk - though I say so myself. :-) knepp.co.uk/view/events/...

I often get asked by friends/colleagues "how do you enjoy the landscape once you know how naturally deprived it is?" My answer? I imagine the stunning transformations over short periods and the huge potential across the UK - it's exciting! & I send these sorts of pics (before/after restoration)

SUSSEX? Are you in Sussex? If so, there are a few tickets remaining for the event at the splendid @kneppwilding.bsky.social with a full meal served. THIS THURSDAY 24th. knepp.co.uk/view/events/...

Great response here to the government's Land Use Framework consultation by Rewilding Britain. Consultation closes on April 25th. Please make your views known. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Thank you good humans. There are do many good humans out there. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Dear Environmentalists, At the end of my #TheJoyfulEnvironmentalist talk I like to recommend that everyone support an organisation that they believe in. Which 3 environmental charities would you recommend and why please? Thank you. 🌍 #nature #environment #climate #biodiversity #makeadifference
