“Birds are breathing in high levels of airborne microplastics into their lungs—and, likely, so are we, with unclear effects on our health.“ Ending the age of plastic is an EMERGENCY. The world needs an ambitious Global #PlasticsTreaty that drastically cuts plastic production.

Lebanon and Gaza hold some of the world’s most important archaeological sites that stretch back to the Roman, Byzantine and Islamic periods. Many of them are disappearing under the Israeli bombardment that has levelled vast areas into dust. My story for @inews.co.uk inews.co.uk/news/world/h...

British farmers are being forced to give up producing food and more substandard food arrives in the U.K. everyday, thanks to bad Brexit trade deals. This Australian meat is reared using methods and chemical banned here which are really bad for animals, Public health and environment.

Truly amazing. The prime minister comes out on the street to meet his guest. What respect.

This neon-lit Art Deco building on Great Western Rd was built in the 1930s for Walter Hubbard, to house his bakery and tea room. For many years it was a pub of the same name with, ahem, a famous nightclub upstairs. Cleopatra's aka Clatty Pat's is now Kitty O'Shea's.

REVEALED: The benefit of keeping Scotland’s water in public hands. 💦 📉 Scotland: £490 📈 England: £603 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scots pay £113 less - because our water is run for the people, not for profit. 🥀 Don’t let Labour get their hands on Scotland’s water! www.heraldscotland.com/news/2493770...

Chris Deerin in the New Statesman declares "I know of almost no one in the (Labour) party who thinks the baby box is anything other than a piece of expensive Sturgeonesque positioning" Wonder if he asked any new mums?

Suddenly the word ‘European’ no longer makes Aunt Agatha reach for the smelling salts. Suddenly it’s a word that conjures up hope. Literally the only word.

An amazing find in a shipwreck in the Firth of Clyde! 😍 Bell's Pottery in Townhead, next to the Monkland Canal, was Scotland's foremost producer of porcelain ceramics.

So much for the isolationist President, now inserting an unwanted, illegitimate, pudgy digit into every and any foreign pie.

🌍 Trump's wrecking ball continues to roll.This has just been sent on to me. 'US president Donald Trump appears to deny the environmental impact of plastic & signs an executive order to bring back plastic straws, claiming paper ones 'explode' Heaven help us t.co/ciQlg3maap (x.com/PeterStefano...)

A 10-year-old has a better plan for stopping plastic pollution than most politicians. Amaya Edwards discovered an Australian scheme that’s keeping rivers and oceans clean. So why hasn’t the UK adopted it?
