I’m not convinced these should be held in America. I can also see boycots happening. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

There's a finite amount of FRESH water on the planet, making this doubly bad news

Something that Cornwall, the Lake district and every other National Park and AONB should observe and consider.

Did u know? We shouldn't pull up our sunny Celandines. Not only are they little drops of yellow happiness & a reminder of warmer days to come, they also feed hungry pollinators as they start to forage on milder days. Don't persecute, pay homage. πŸŒΌπŸ’›πŸ’› 🌍🌱🌿πŸͺ²

"In the face of the current wave of environmental backlash and net zero scaremongering, rejecting Rosebank is a golden opportunity for the UK to draw a line in the sand against the myths and misinformation" writes @carolinelucas.bsky.social in our latest blog. Read it nowπŸ‘‰

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

How the world and all of us need this story of healing the Earth! We can do this.

Can we see what it is yet? @jackabbott.bsky.social It's long past time it was opposed rather than appeased. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @carladenyer.bsky.social @johnswinney.bsky.social @rhunapiorwerth.bsky.social Labour appear to be joining in www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nhl...

Deep sea mining seems like a terrible idea, and is more about continued extractivist and neo-colonial economics by those who always want 'just one more dollar'. And might not be needed, as this article points out www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/enviro... 🧡

This is the sort of clean power tech the UK Gov should be exploring instead of scams like carbon capture. Genuine clean power using heat in the Earth’s crust, now accessible almost anywhere thanks to new drilling tech.

Hello @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social - good to see you getting stuck in to your new post straight away! We look forward to working with you on the mission to sort out indoor #AirPollution as part of the Labour Government's #Health mission.

Air pollution is linked to thousands of deaths every year in the UK. Children are particularly vulnerable. The public have a right to know what is in the air they are breathing. We've signed this letter calling for transparency and encourage you to do the same @richardswsmith.bsky.social

Latest emissions data has been released, showing a slight overall reduction in PM2.5 levels from domestic combustion. However, if you live next to a wood burning household, an overall reduction means nothing because you're living in an #AirPollution hotspot. #WoodBurning www.gov.uk/government/s...

Cars are getting 1cm wider every two years. That may not sound much, but over time it adds up, and they're showing no signs of slowing down 😬 That's #carspreading. Our new campaign is calling on city leaders to make parking policies fairer by varying costs based on the size of a car. Why? 🧡1/8

Join me at the 1st International Conference dedicated to exploring Air Quality Communications... Speakers from across the world of air quality: artists and app-makers, academics and activists and attendees will explore how the air is communicated in our world. www.imperial.ac.uk/events/18787...

🚘 πŸ’¨ Remember #Dieselgate? That was 10 years ago. πŸ’¨ 🚘 Diesel cars fitted with defeat devices are still on our roads today. We believe the public needs to know what we're breathing - please sign our letter if you agree. https://buff.ly/4hxAJZx #AirPollution #Diesel

Once seen as a cosy & even eco-friendly way to heat your home, burning wood & solid fuel emits harmful pollutants & PM2.5 particles that are bad for the environment & human health #AirPollution #WoodBurning #Health #Environmenf www.camdennewjournal.co.uk/article/its-...

Please please please please please do not feed your pets raw food right now, period. There is no way for it to be safe at the current moment and it is unlikely to get better in the forseeable future.

Don't let your battles go unseen. At the inquest into my husband’s death the coroner described the situation as a desperately sad and unexplainable case of pressures that were not shared. Please, share your battles with someone else. Be seen. πŸ’› #DaddyBlackbird #SuicidePrevention #Hope

A reaction to the Government's commitment to spend billions more on bioenergy from Larissa Lockwood of @globalactionplan.bsky.social #CutCarbonNotForests

About 80% of the bogs in the UK are already degraded by draining, overgrazing and burning. It’s time to rewild the peatland!

@samcoatessky.bsky.social here on how #Starmer won't win his faux battle with bat tunnels without getting rid of the Habitats Directive .. and that would breach our trade agreement with the EU Surely not worth it even in the warped world of Labour's #BuildBabyBuild WATCH: youtu.be/m5qB0Gk6Ugk?...

"There is a huge push for 1.5 million new homes, with little consideration as to where they are built, or updating building regulations to ensure that houses are built to be flood resilient." @floodmary.bsky.social pulls no punches in this brilliant blog πŸ‘‡πŸΎ floodmary.com/2025/02/10/b...

PFAS: when chemical firms are pleased with your approach to regulation, but scientists & health experts are not, maybe it's time to ask yourself some hard questions. Watershed's @leanahosea.bsky.social joined @angelawalkernews.bsky.social to discuss how UK regs on PFAS compare to other countries.🧡

He’s not wrong

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much. The real #TwoTierPolicing www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Also, something else people who might use 'dangerous' routes are fleeing: mass graves found in Libya www.iom.int/news/iom-dee...

The ban driven grouse shooting petition has passed 63,000 signatures. Plz add your name here if you want this discussed in parliament petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... I wonder whether we can get to 66,666 by 21 Feb- that would be half way in time and two thirds of the way in signatures.

🚨Urgent Drax Action! If Gov goes ahead with decision on Monday to grant new subsidies to Drax, this would be a disaster for forests, communities, bill payers and our planet. Tell Ed Miliband to make the right choice today: tinyurl.com/ed-dump-drax

Vast swathes of UK farm fields are spread with sewage sludge - a mix of human & industrial waste. We tested some, & found levels of PFAS & fire retardants that wouldn't be considered safe for use on allotments. Our article in the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
