Many fossil fuel execs like to say they are full of caring for people suffering from energy poverty and just want to help. If this was true, they would support solar.

Awesome video about how solar has replaced diesel for Indian salt farmers.

🦖 Happy National Dinosaur Day, from Teessaurus Park!
UPDATE: Disappointing news that C20’s application to list three site-specific dinosaur play sculptures at Teessaurus Park in Middlesbrough, has been rejected by Historic England.

Designed by Geneviève Glatt in 1977-79, they represent a rare major 20th.C public-art commission for a female artist.

Labour promised to restore nature. ❌

Instead, their Planning Bill contains a licence to destroy it.

We offered solutions. We’re done waiting.

Part 3 of the Bill would gut the laws protecting our most precious habitats & species.

Without significant change, it must be scrapped.
