Hands Off Nature - Sustainable Water Network Don’t let the EU tear down nature protection. The European Commission wants to roll back vital environmental protections – and they’re asking for your opinion. We have only a short time to speak up be...

While you're on holiday, the EU is dismantling environmental protections 🏖️➡️💔 #HandsOffNature
You have until 10 September to tell the Commission what you think. Your voice matters: swanireland.ie/take-action/...

Growing up in rural Ireland there is an unspoken code that private property rights are supreme & you dont squeal on your neighbour.
That culture hasnt served our environment or communuties well & its a conversation that needs to be had.

Nice. Well done. We get lots of cyclists staying with us. Love to see them coming 🚴

Today is the launch date of ByLandAndSea.ie ! A guide to travel to and from Ireland without flying. Please share and follow!

Lovely 🌿

Cutting hedges and trees is generally illegal now until September due to Bird Nesting Season

Concurrently, annual reminder, it is illegal to take photos of an active nest without a licence.

The birds will thank you for abiding by both.

Thanks

So ugly. No one should respond and see how that goes. #democracy #strongertogether

Whenever anyone laments the state we’re in, they’re met with a chorus of “but what do we do?” As plenty of good options are available, this response might often be wilful impotence*.
I invite you all to nominate in this thread the best proposals and practices, around which we should gather. Thanks

Beautiful.

1,200 new jobs to be created across Ireland by Corrib Oil 1,200 new jobs will be created across the country by Corrib Oil – who announced plans to more than double its nationwide store presence to 100 by 2030.

Exciting news as oil firm announces major Irish expansion plans. In other news, fossil fuel burning is accelerating us towards irreversible #climate breakdown.

Ah well, have a Wendy’s burger, it’ll cheer you up.

An Taisce criticises Department for ‘backtracking’ on commitment to reduce fertiliser use by 5pc An Taisce has criticised the Department of Agriculture for ‘backtracking’ on its commitment to cut fertiliser application by a further 5pc on all farms.

Serious concern over interim Nitrates Action Programme data gaps: “This is undoubtedly a retraction from a previous more stringent commitment by the Department" www.independent.ie/farming/news...

Done from Ireland. Wish someone would rein in that dictator and group of narcissistic self obsessed megalmaniacs and focus on the important social and environmental issues of our precious shared home.

Just back from a beautiful silent #meditation weekend in #jampaling Buddhist centre in Cavan. They fundraise for www.asralmongolia.org Fundamentals of Tibetan Bhuddhism are compassion and wisdom. Much needed by our world leaders at this time 🌿

1. We cannot now rule out the possibility of systemic collapse in the United States. If Trump and Musk paralyse the federal government, this could trigger social, financial and industrial failures. Neither Trump nor his team know how to respond to such failures, which could snowball and converge. 🧵

What it was always all about.

Today is World Wetlands Day. Restoring our wetlands will go a long
way towards tackling our biodiversity, climate AND water crises.

The Government must take action.

Thought we'd share some of our visitors insights into our space here in West Clare. We get a lot of cyclists coming through along the @wildatlanticway.bsky.social #loveloophead

Would highly recommend everyone to read Leopold - a viewpoint eons ahead of its time.

I've put together an 'Ireland - Nature & Climate Starter Pack' with just a few of those I feel are working hardest to champion wild nature and a stable climate on this island.

Of course, it's very far from comprehensive: I'll be adding to it over time!
