4 years ago we delivered free bus travel for under 22s.

Now we want to expand it to everyone under 30 - improving mobility, lowering congestion and pollution, and leaving more money in people's pockets.

Reducing the cost of public transport is a win-win for people and planet.
Free bus travel for everyone under 30 is top Budget demand for Scottish Greens
John Swinney's SNP Government will announce its Budget next month.

Demonstrates how Europe has no meaningful climate leadership. Eloquent & formally educated ‘leaders’ (across politics & beyond) locked into a simplistic 19 century mindset, totally ill equipped to consider system issues & in thrall to latter-day astrologists & snake-oil sellers (market economists).
Among many horrific revelations in new @irena-official.bsky.social data for 2024 renewables investment, most dismal -- and totally unmentioned so far? -- is this:

Investment in solar and wind combined *FELL* in Europe. Net capacity adds were 73.8GW in 2023. In 2024, they were 4.5% lower, at 70.5GW.

“The pedestrian is, at best, an afterthought - at worst, an obstruction. Until this fundamental hierarchy is overturned, we will remain supplicants at the crossing, pressing the button, waiting for permission to step out into the great, indifferent rush of progress.“

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars:

1) Profiting from a monopoly

2) Insider-trading

3) Political payoffs

4) Fraud

5) Inheritance

Don’t believe the self-made myth.

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much.

More runways , more planes , more fossil fuels . It’s not just sitting idly by , it’s actively accelerating climate collapse in the reckless pursuit of growth in archaic industries instead of a rapid transition to a green economy .

This Labour Government selling our environmental and economic future away with their weakness.

We will be failing to meet our climate & environmental targets as another storm batters us. We will also give up on the sustainable jobs in growing industries.

🔴 $150 billion and 11 deaths: the cost of the current Los Angeles wildfire
🔴 €10 billion and 232 deaths: the cost of October's flooding in Spain
🔴 $78 billion and 219 deaths: the cost of October's Hurricane Helene

The cost of climate inaction is incalculable.

Appropriate mix of headlines. Climate change accelerates, while the business world, under pressure from US conservatives, abandons any attempt to stop it

I don't think I can say this enough: the environmental movement has lost its way.

Environmentalism is not about sustainability and finding substitutes for fossil fuels in solar, wind, etc.

Environmentalism is about saving as much of the planet as possible, about preserving our beautiful home.
