We often think, “I’m just one person—what difference could I make?”

This story shows that, when we use our voice, the answer is: a lot.

So if one person can catalyze so much harm, imagine the good each of us can choose to support and advocate for.

Since the 1970s there has been a 71% decline in shark and ray species
Shark finning is the cruel practice of removing any fins from a shark (including the tail) before discarding the remainder of the shark at-sea to die a cruel miserable death

If AI eliminates millions of jobs, how will people survive?

Will AI destroy democracy with a massive invasion of our privacy?

Could a superintelligent AI replace humans in controlling the planet?

We must act NOW. AI must benefit all of us, not just billionaire investors.

Despite the speed at which it is progressing, AI is getting far too little discussion in Congress, the media and within the general population. That has got to change

We’ve always had floods – but as the world warms, they’re becoming more intense and more severe.

We’re all in harms way – but those who don’t have a safe place to live, or can’t take food and water for granted, are always most vulnerable.

New York will always be a city of immigrants. When we protect the communities who keep this city running and uphold our sanctuary laws, we create a future that’s safer for every New Yorker.

Nature isn’t a “blocker” – it makes our lives better.

Our coast, countryside, heritage and wildlife underpin our food, water and health and put millions of pounds into the economy. The Government must not weaken the laws that protect them.

I've posted similar images for #Stunday. I stood in knee deep water with a couple friends and opened the shutter many times for somewhere between 15 and 30 seconds hoping to catch oak leaves doing their fall dance on the water. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #oaktrees #trees #longexposure

If only someone could have foreseen that briefing the FT this week that you’re not willing to do the broad based tax rises you briefed everyone last week were going to be necessary to pay the bills might impact the bond market.
Massive move in gilts on open. Looks like giving up almost half the gains from the last month. Terrible
I am excited to see the gilt market reaction to this news. Think it could be quite bad. A big chunk of the recent gilt rally was predicated on Labour showing they could hike the big taxes if needed and….well I guess that idea is dead.

The news is clear: overshooting 1.5°C of global warming is now 'inevitable'. ⚠️

But by how much, and for how long, is still something we can change. 🌍

As #COP30 kicks off in Brazil, all eyes turn to the world leaders in attendance. Will they take this opportunity to change course?

Our National Parks are at risk. ⚠️

From the rugged Lakes to the sweeping South Downs, these landscapes define us and our future. They sustain wildlife, communities and our wellbeing - and they must be protected.

A future that puts them at risk isn't what anyone voted for.
