The ground still smouldering above Lochindorb today after the four-day wildfire. Watched a helicopter dropping water. More rain is forecast. It's needed. #wildfire #scottishhighlands

There must be action - on the loss of soils, wildlife, habitats, ecosystems; the release of carbon into the atmosphere; & the increased risk of flooding.

There’s a field near here where flowers are farmed to sell to London florists & make confetti. It’s breathtaking. If you’re new to my posts maybe pause & take this image in, it will hack your brain slightly-trigger dopamine release & relax you a little to help with stress you might encounter today 🌿

This afternoon, the Planning Bill enters the House of Lords.
Within it is a proposal that would make it easier to destroy the woods, rivers and wildlife we all love - by weakening the laws that keep them safe.
If Part 3 isn’t changed or scrapped, nature will pay the price. ⚠️

Thank you @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social for your thoughtful, calm, compassionate articulation of the argument for assisted dying to be a legalised human right in this country. I was very moved by the outcome of this vote - to reduce suffering at the very end of life for those who choose it.
