Next, demand the release of all captive wild cetaceans.
Amazing news to start the week! 🎉 German travel giant DERTOUR will no longer sell tickets to dolphinariums or attractions keeping whales & dolphins in captivity. After years of campaigning, this is a major win for whales & dolphins. Your turn, TUI. It's time to do the right thing.

Successive govts cut local authority funding in real terms, cut real wages/benefits, no curbs on profiteering, lack of social housing.
Cheaper to build social housing than using temporary accommodation.

Did u know?This is one of the most important organisms on earth - moss. It's amazing what it does to maintain healthy ecosystems. It minimises soil erosion; captures carbon; harbours tiny souls in its unique habitat & filters & purifies water & air in its dense structure - make room for moss. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🦠
