1. This is Piles Copse, the largest remaining fragment of high-ground temperate rainforest on Dartmoor. It’s a tiny speck of green in a dismal, human-made desert. Prepare yourselves for a story of breathtaking perversity, told in this thread. (There’s a one-page version at the bottom). 🧵

Wood burning is "a luxury we cannot afford". At the @globalactionplan.bsky.social event on domestic wood burning today. 200,000 #woodburners are installed every year. Every single one pumps #PM2.5 into the wider community, with devastating consequences. Thanks to @mumsforlungs.bsky.social 🫶

Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon ie, both online and in the high street. Shop direct with your Irish retailers, who already exist. Support local, not the billionaires.

The 'world-class' Clontarf Cycle Route. Designed and built by someone who’s never seen a bike. Companies like Tesco can block it when they want. Not even 6 months old, but already being dug up, and the poor surfacing is being replaced with something even worse. You despair.
