People should lift each other up and cheer each other on, not try to outdo each other. The sky would be terribly dark with only one star.

In very unsurprising news...

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says “We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants” Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR youtu.be/iSTN-h8NoyY

UK failing animals with just one welfare inspector for every 878 farms – report

All the evidence shows importance of greater access to nature, so cuts to England’s national parks are short-sighted & self-defeating. Instead Govt should reform them, give them a strong nature recovery focus & recognise their contribution to health & wellbeing www.theguardian.com/environment/...
