On the longest day of the year, and one of the hottest too, many of us will be heading outside for al fresco dining.

Remember, leave your BBQs at home - the landscape is tinder-dry and just a small spark can lead to miles of devastating damage.

Spread a love of nature, not a fire. Thank you.

In the years since, private water firms haven't built any and sold off 25.

Jeff Bezos has more money than any human could spend - and he’s wasting it on planet-wrecking joy rides to space while people on earth starve.

Why don’t we just tax the super-rich and use that money to fix wealth inequality AND the climate crisis?

People are buying more clothes, but they don’t stay in closets for long. This fuels overproduction and waste.

An easy fix? Wear them longer—the planet will thank you!
