Dear @mkcouncil, 2023's #ClimateActionScorecards rate MK 96th amongst equivalent councils, with a 'below average' total score of 33%. In contrast, top performing councils achieve 60% or more. When will #MiltonKeynes take stronger Climate Action? 📋councilclimatescorecards.uk/…

Reassured to read @Dahnoun_'s report on this ten-year #RSPB study in #the_ecologist - it details how much nature-friendly farming is needed to recover our depleted farmland bird populations 🌾🌾🌾 theecologist.org/2023/jan/06…

Birds bounce back on restored farmland

Bird populations bounce back when farmers devote 10 per cent of their land to nature-friendly measures, a new study finds.

🗳️ Young people are politically engaged - but this does not translate to voting. @UnlockDemocracy asks what can be done about it? unlockdemocracy.org.uk/blog1…

The youth aren’t politically disengaged, they’re electorally disenfranchised — Unlock Democracy
