98%

That's the decrease in the annual number of single-use plastic bags in the UK since a 5p charge started 10 years ago (it's now 10p)

Not all environmental problems are that easy to tackle, but change is possible

Living the dream working on the Cairngorm Plateau as part of the 2025 Montane Bird Survey. It was also very saddening - walking for days over swathes of beautiful habitat to find no Dotterel where there were once many... #BirdingScotland

In fairness, this lasted a week longer than any other Brexit benefit. 😂
They celebrated 10% tariff in the UK vs 20% in the EU as a Brexit benefit

Now, both UK and EU have the same 10%

Poof! The benefit of Brexit is gone

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

Trump’s tariff policy is - at least in part - about locking us into the suicidal consumption of fossil fuels.

They’ll attempt to force us to consume their poison if we have an antidote.

The government claims that airport expansion will help the economy. But airports take out more money than they bring in.
