Every time me or my family needs the NHS I am in awe. Such a great system and such wonderful people working there. Particular shout out to those specialist who do all the checks ‘just to be on the safe side’ These people are literally life savers. We are so so lucky.

Nukes or windfarms, its all the same anti-democratic politics

The climate transition demands the banning of protests and the weakening of environmental law - its neither profitable nor possible while ecology and democracy function.

“Cost” of net zero is less than the cost of a single fossil fuel price shock.

Though of course net zero isn’t a cost but an investment in a healthier, liveable, more secure planet.

Species Slowdown: Is Nature’s Ability to Self-Repair Stalling? When scientists recently analyzed hundreds of studies of ecosystems, they were surprised to see a marked slowing in the rate of species turnover. If new species don’t replace old ones, they say, ecosy...

Contrary to predictions, "Nature is slowing down, and its ability to regenerate is failing in the face of climate change." A new analysis finds the speed of species turnover in ecosystems worldwide has slowed by a third since the mid-1970s. 🌎🌿🧪

This is so great. Over the last 12 years beavers have gone from something that governments wanted rid of and few of the NGOs cared about, to being recognised as a native species right across GB. Well done to all those who campaigned to get us here.

Last month the UK Government quietly released a report detailing the severe threats to our national security posed by biodiversity loss.

It shows why we need to campaign for nature now more than ever.

I used to be a secondary school teacher. 3 of our feeder primaries were flooded. It was months before the children could return. Many of our students’ homes were flooded too. Adults often put it on students as if it’s their responsibility to respond to climate change but it’s not, it’s ours.
