FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than £2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations.

Reform are NOT for ordinary people.

They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

Addressing food loss & waste is one of the best things we can do to address climate change -- yet it is still largely ignored.

Here are some excellent resources on how to address this issue, thanks to Project Drawdown and ReFED.

Why do we kill anything for ‘fun’?
👎 First the #wolves, now the Turtle-doves. The @ec.europa.eu is rolling back protections for yet another vulnerable species.

The hunting pause was working, lifting it now is reckless. We must protect #wildlife, not push species back to the brink.
