This #EarthDay we're remembering the radical roots of the first Earth Day back in 1970 - and how trade union support was crucial to making it happen.

BREAKING ⚡: We’re calling on the next Scottish government to ensure Scotland’s energy wealth benefits EVERYONE - not just private companies, overseas investors and shareholders.
Last chance to sign up to this trade unionists' open letter against the Rosebank oilfield!
Drilling more in the North Sea won't do anything to bring energy bills down. As reserves decline rapidly, we need a just transition to renewable energy which isn't vulnerable to global price shocks.

No surprise that the same actors are behind both anti-immigrant hate speech and Islamophobia and climate denial propaganda. More here: www.campaigncc.org/climate_disi...
Unite members may be organising a letter to their executive to express their own 'disappointment'
The fight against climate denial and disinformation depends not just on countering it with facts alone, but on establishing a stronger narrative of collective action and values - key to the trade union year of climate action.
The Climate & Nature Education Festival, part of the trade union year of climate action, was a great success, attended by 300 educators and activists with a wide range of workshops from AI to green bargaining and from nature connectedness to international solidarity.
Join us at this online Workers Planet event next Thursday for discussions about how organised labour and the climate movement are working together, and why this is more crucial than ever.
Drilling more in the North Sea does NOTHING to protect our energy bills from global price shocks - the only thing that will is to get off fossil fuels and onto renewables.
The more a just transition is delayed, the more it will cost us all.
There's still time to sign the trade union open letter against Rosebank oil field!
With a government decision on the climate-wrecking oil field imminent we'll close it on 20 March.

New on our website: why wetter winters are a sign of climate breakdown and how this brings risks to our homes, transport systems and food growing.

The Warm Homes Plan can't retrofit 5 million homes by contracting out to a workforce that's poorly paid, employed on temporary contracts & largely de-unionised - without repeating past failures.
New report from @cmmonwealth.bsky.social calls for a stable skilled workforce within the public sector.👍

On the North Sea, we do agree with Unite that gov't should do more to ensure a just transition for workers.
That doesn't mean new oil fields. Heathrow expansion - just no!
Many of our supporters are campaigning within Unite for stronger climate justice policies, the more that join them the better.
It's #HeartUnions week. If you care about the planet, join a union! For workers who fix our roads and infrastructure, dealing with winter floods and summer heatwaves, the climate crisis can't be ignored.

So often repeated but worth saying again - those who are suffering worst from climate breakdown are those who have done least to cause the crisis.
This #HeartUnions week, @claraunite.bsky.social explains how the climate crisis is affecting workers now.
If you care about climate and the environment, join a union - let's work together for a future which doesn't cost the earth
