The land we live on does more than feed us; it helps in cooling our planet by absorbing harmful emissions.
Human activities are upsetting this balance, but together, governments and corporations can change the story.

Iran’s Foreign Minister says the U.S. blocking Iranian ports constitutes an “act of war” and a ceasefire violation, and adds that targeting commercial vessels and taking crews hostage is an even greater violation. He says Iran will “resist bullying” and defend its interests.
Together, we can do big things ✊ Our planet needs us.
A friendly reminder ahead of Earth Day 🌎💚
Here are some ideas on how to take action >> act.gp/4p1H0kt
🚨 Talks with Iran have collapsed before they even began.
Iran refuses to negotiate under a U.S. naval blockade and threats, and Trump says he expects bombing to resume once the ceasefire ends.
Iran is warning it will retaliate if attacked—and planned talks in Pakistan appear dead.
My wife recalled to me this week, a woman friend was nervous about a group of teenagers in the high street, & when she went to the library they were hanging around the door & then followed her in.
Then.....
they all sat down and did jigsaw puzzles

said: “While #NaturalEngland dithers and ‘reviews processes’, irreplaceable wildlife sites are being trashed, damaged, and even built over. That is not a technical failure, it’s a dereliction of duty.”

This is why I haven't been on social media much!
I've been horrified by what we found about Natural England pausing designation to SSSIs - and the consequent loss of nationally important sites for nature to development:

What else would you like to see cleaned up in UK politics?
It's all a bit redolent of this explanation by Bernard ... (Yes, Prime Minister series 2 episode 8 "The Tangled Web") ...
Amsterdam to ban outdoor advertising of meat, fossil fuel and flights from May 2026.
Likened to tobacco ads, stripping ads from billboards and bus stops aims to strip credibility from the industry.
Who's next and when will online bans kick in too?
Time and time again we hear govt ministers condemn Israel's flagrant breaches of international law but take no real action. This is simply not enough.
Ban settlement trade, stop all arms sales to and military cooperation with Israel, and pursue investigations into war crimes.
Building peace should be the priority of all our elected politicians. Israel's actions in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran are making us all less safe, and worse, our Government enables to the Israeli Government's actions. It must end.
PRESS RELEASE Governments meeting at the Petersberg Climate Dialogue, including Türkiye as this year’s UN climate talks president, must use the global disruption in fossil fuel supplies from the war on Iran as an accelerator for a just transition away from fossil fuels.

You couldn't make it up: Suella Braverman, a former Erasmus student, voted against the UK joining the scheme.
So she can have the opportunity, but others can’t? How ironic...
The African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights decision could set a precedent that shapes how development, resource extraction, and environmental protection are balanced across the continent.

This illustrates two things . First, that the ‘85 Transport Act remains one of Thatcher’s most pernicious legacies, particularly when combined with austerity. The ‘85 Act allowed LAs to fund socially necessary services but they can’t do that without money www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
