We think that we're in a minority, most people guess that about 43% of others care about climate. The reality is that 69% care and want action. This perception gap shows in survey after survey in different countries around the world.
Its why talking about your personal actions has so much power!

Best news on the girls group chat this morning - my best friend @starkeychick333.bsky.social has joined the @greenparty.org.uk !! 🥳
That’s 2 new members I’ve opened the door for.
Talk to your friends - they might want to talk politics and take action more than you think.

Handy research from @weownit.org.uk showing public support for public ownership of services, and how political party’s policies match up… or don’t.
6 more reasons to join @greenparty.org.uk
Oh and they already have 4 MPs, 800 councillors and democratic policy creation.

How do we get the @greenparty.org.uk to double its membership? Then double again? To scale its voice and campaigning power? To get Zack the momentum he needs?
What if every member invites one other person to join and #BackZack ?
Welcome to the party @sallywestney.bsky.social (my mum) 😊 💚

In Jan I joined a women’s rights march. Some of my male friends asked why?
Yesterday, accessing reproductive healthcare without risk of prosecution, was passed by parliament.
Thanks to all the voices who’ve called for this for years.
& thanks @lizzicollinge.bsky.social for your yes vote!

Why am I backing Zack Polanski for Green Party leader?
Voters want change. Voters want something different from ‘the establishment’.
Many would support green policies if the messaging was clearer, bolder, and spoke to their concerns and values.
Zack gets that.

Is it enough to want systems to change but not take action? I’ve realised it’s not, we need to actively create change. So today I went canvassing for the 1st time with my local @greenparty.org.uk candidates hearing local concerns and how greens work on them.
This handmade sign was the highlight!

Love mine! I was v lucky to buy it through the Cycle to Work scheme in a previous job. Now I train + e-bike for my 2 office days and get 80mins of exercise added into my work week, and get to check on the swan’s nest and cygnets by the canal.

Your Friday reminder that the antidote to a week’s worth of bad news about nature - is nature.
Here’s me getting some post-run vitamin Sea.

The PDSA estimates there are 10 million+ dogs and 10 million+ cats in the UK.
So how do we start a convo about pets while environmental impact?
Meat consumption, flea powder, hunting small birds and mammals. And that’s without mentioning the poo.

Here’s a quick overview of oat, soy and almond’s impact.
But any plant milk is better for the planet than dairy, so go for the one you like the taste of most - that way you’ll make the switch more likely to stick!

Thanking all those people who can read a book without bending the pages. How do you do that? My books look like they’ve been run over by a tractor.
Also thanking Red Cross and Scope charity shops for £1.50 book prices.
And my girlfriends for our 2nd-hand or homemade Xmas policy.

Today’s little step for #sustainability - I mended the moth balls in my Xmas jumper!
This gorgeous pure wool jumper is too good not to wear, so I’ve darned up the holes with what I think look like snowflakes to add to the fair isle design.
Reduce, reuse, recycle… Repair!

Influencing people to make a small change in their diet is far easier than trying to convince them to become a veggie or vegan.
If you can inspire just 2 other people to cut out beef, the carbon reduction is bigger than 1 of you being a vegan.

And this comparing UK wildlife in 1970s to now.
If your peer was alive in the 70s do they remember garages selling bug remover to get splatters off your windscreen?
Whaling records show blue, fin and humpbacks around Scotland in the early 1900s
We forget so quickly what is ‘normal’ for wildlife
