The best antidote to news and social media

When shouting about sustainability becomes optional, who isn’t staying silent? The fossil fuel industry
#COP30 sees another rise in the ratio of fossil fuel lobbyists to other attendees, as more and more companies and governments stay silent

Positive politics doesn’t mean you can’t get frustrated by the state of Lewisham’s streets…
We’ll keep bringing these issues to the council, win or lose. Signs of cleaner streets already. But more to do
A great reception this morning for people just showing up in Catford South
