Still think it’s a good idea to have the Open at Turnberry? The protests will be epic. The disruption monumental.

Studies have shown that tiny pieces of plastic, which may originate from everyday products such as food packaging or plastic toys, can make bees more susceptible to bacteria and viruses.

In turn, the microplastics can injure or even kill bees, and make pollination more difficult. wapo.st/3RDRRBO

Today’s newsletter includes an investigation into a Welsh Government owned body which is unapologetically promoting climate change misinformation.

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social in a fury about the new planning & Infrastructure bill.

Across my long and largely futile career, I’ve read innumerable reports by professional bodies. But never one as scathing as the note last month by the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management.
Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot
The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Being disabled does not make someone “a victim”, Nigel Farage. Having state support to go to school does not make someone “a victim” either.

These kind of remarks are in many ways why I wrote Who Wants Normal? Disabled young people deserve more than this vile narrative.
