Before/after of a school street in Paris
Every time I see a before/after picture like this, I think even the “before” is better than what we have for most school streets in Seattle.
🦇It was #InternationalDayOfForests on Saturday and to celebrate our wonderful woodlands we want to highlight the work we are doing in Wales on the Wales Woodland Wonders project: www.bats.org.uk/our-work/in-... .
We're wrapping up the Winter planting season. Thank you to all the volunteers who took part!
The song is the still unreleased ‘watermelon skies’ by BIN RICH, fellow tree musketeers & creatures of the concrete forest! Made from the samples of our very own Hackney parakeets & morning marsh afterglows.
Rewilding relies on collaboration, so how do we make this happen?

🦈 Sharks are far more social than we once thought, using their networks to learn, avoid danger & gain skills, new research shows. We still have so much to learn about these threatened creatures. Protecting them is absolutely critical!

“The White House said the disruption was a reason for countries to increase production of fossil fuels, not replace them”

Most of the media reflects neither reality nor public opinion. It reflects the views and demands of those who own it: the Oligarch Class. They employ editors and journalists to channel their demands and sell their fictions. Hence the endless attacks on net zero.

One person tested had PFAS levels in their blood more than 200 times above the level established in the US as 'potential for adverse health effects'.
Why is neither the alleged polluter or the EA bio-monitoring to find out how people's health may be affected?

BREAKING: The blackout in Spain and Portugal in April 2025 did NOT happen because of renewables.

Abraham Lincoln associated democracy with “government of the people, by the people, for the people”.
Possibilities are subverted as corporations and super-rich buy political parties and legislators
Yet no govt wants to ban political donations which buy influence/power for the super-rich.
