🌿 “You can't buy back biodiversity.” We agree with #CANBill supporter, Neil Duncan-Jordan MP, at the Planning Bill debate. Nature isn't a nice to have, it’s all we have. Restoring nature must be at the centre of the Government's plans.

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

Most crops in the British Isles? Gone.

Haven’t heard much about this? That’s why these people turned up in London today with their AMOC bomb. 🧵

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.
