An open letter to #RealisationFestival

The Earl of Shaftesbury must return Lough Neagh.

When will he stop the sand dredging and transfer ownership?

He must publish the contracts & support a Citizens Assembly.

No more greenwash!

While governments consider proposals to protect forests, UK banks continue to fund their destruction.

UK banks have provided over £1 billion to "forest-risk" companies since the COP26 agreement to end deforestation.

Did you know? 🤔 UK Government pours billions into subsidies for fossil fuels - £17.5 billion every year, money that could be invested in renewables and boosting the green economy.

Is your MP attending?
There are many issues for society to tackle, however ignoring material threats to our biosphere will simply undermine efforts in all other areas.

Nature is under threat, it's time for a #NationalEmergencyBriefing.
Make sure your MP attends.
